How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Dana

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

   Wetness can remain after dripping stops. The technician measures concealed surfaces before selecting drying equipment. A stopped leak can leave moisture inside porous material, so the crew tests beyond the puddle.

3. Address soaked materials

   Water that passed through dirty cavities can require sanitizing. The technician evaluates the affected surfaces during cleanup. When water crossed dirty surfaces, the cleanup plan accounts for those conditions.

4. Dry and check progress

   A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.

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.
