How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Hancock

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

   Moisture readings follow the path from the AC to ceilings, walls, and floors. The visible stain is only a starting point. A reading above the stain helps determine whether insulation remains wet against ceiling framing.

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

   Air movement and dehumidification dry the remaining structure. Follow-up readings show whether the plan is working. The crew compares new readings with the initial map so hidden pockets are not overlooked.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

An air handler can keep feeding a wet area while it runs. Turn off the AC when safe, get HVAC service, and begin water removal. Water extraction begins once the area is safe to enter.

• 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.
