How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Sears

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

   A soft ceiling section can need removal after a leak. The crew keeps people clear of unsafe areas and documents what comes out. The opening is limited to material that needs access, while photographs record its condition.

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

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.
