How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Mission

1. Extract escaped condensate

   Pooled water at the closet threshold is taken up with extraction tools. The technician checks nearby flooring for water that traveled out of sight. In a closet loss, the crew checks whether water crossed the doorway into the hall.

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

   The crew separates materials that can dry from those too damaged to remain. Rebuild follows the dry-out stage. The technician notes which materials were removed and which remain for the dry-out.

4. Dry and check progress

   Fans move air over accessible surfaces while dehumidifiers remove moisture from the room. The technician watches concealed areas. Airflow reaches exposed wet surfaces while humidity control supports the room as a whole.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet drywall can lose strength and remain damp behind paint. A technician checks the condition before deciding what can be dried. Damaged board may need opening before the cavity can dry.

• 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.
