How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Goddard

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

3. Remove material that holds water

   A damp carpet pad may need to come out before the subfloor can dry. The technician evaluates contamination and saturation.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing pan water may carry dirt into porous finishes. The crew assesses water condition before deciding what material can remain.

• Keep people and pets out of rooms beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch dripping lights, switches or ceiling fans.
• Turn off the AC from a safe, dry control if possible.
• Avoid walking across attic insulation or unsupported surfaces.
• Describe visible stains and drips from outside the affected room.
