A clogged condensate drain can release a steady trickle while the air conditioner runs. Water may collect under the unit, follow a sloped platform and reach a room that looks dry from the doorway. The wet footprint can be wider than the puddle.
Turning off the air conditioner can stop fresh condensate from forming. It cannot remove moisture already beneath carpet, so the crew checks those layers.
