How AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Works in Halsey

1. Extract escaped condensate

   A ceiling drip may create a floor puddle below it. The crew removes liquid water first, then assesses materials above and beneath the room. If a ceiling has dripped onto furnishings, those wet surfaces are documented before equipment moves in.

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

   Saturated insulation may be removed so framing can dry. Damaged drywall is opened only where the wet condition calls for access. Removing insulation exposes wet framing and allows the drying equipment to work on the cavity.

4. Dry and check progress

   The crew checks moisture across the affected ceiling and nearby materials. Equipment stays focused on areas still wet. Drying tools can be adjusted when one part of the ceiling responds more slowly.

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.

• Switch off cooling if the pan is full or water is spilling.
• Avoid touching the pan or nearby wiring when the area is wet.
• Move furniture away from a stained ceiling or dripping spot.
• Place a container under a drip only if the ceiling remains sound and the area is safe.
• Photograph the pan and the room below, then call for water removal.
