Does clearing the drain dry the floor?
Clearing the obstruction stops new condensate from spilling. Water already in a floor seam or wall base still needs extraction and drying. The crew checks those materials after the HVAC technician handles the drain.

Water held in a platform or under flooring may drain out slowly after the unit stops. A new puddle also calls for an HVAC check to verify the source. The drying technician measures the wet route rather than relying on the surface alone.
