How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in West Point

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Water that reached adjacent rooms is removed before drying equipment is set. A moisture map shows where extraction must extend. Extraction reaches wet spots beyond the unit when condensate has moved into a second room.

2. Map the hidden wet area

   An air handler leak may travel under flooring. The crew tests the subfloor and nearby trim for moisture. Water under a closet threshold may follow seams that cannot be seen from above.

3. Address soaked materials

   If a wall cavity remains damp, an opening can allow drying air to reach it. The material condition guides removal. A damp cavity may need airflow after damaged wall board is opened in the affected section.

4. Dry and check progress

   Drying continues until readings support that the affected materials are dry. The crew records progress for the loss file. Recorded progress shows when materials stopped holding excess moisture from the AC leak.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Condensate trapped under flooring does not disappear when a puddle is wiped away. A crew checks the layers below and dries the affected structure. Readings at the subfloor help show whether drying reached below the finish.

• Turn off the AC if condensate is still entering the ceiling.
• Keep everyone away from sagging drywall and wet ceiling fixtures.
• Do not switch on a wet light or fan; leave electrical work to a qualified electrician.
• Move dry furniture out from beneath the stain if the area is safe.
• Take photos from a safe position and call for ceiling water removal.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
