What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Ada
Ceiling or wall cavities may need access if water is trapped. The crew selects the response to ac drain pan overflow cleanup from the conditions found.
A drain pan catches condensate only until its outlet fails, the pan cracks or water exceeds its capacity. The overflow can soak the support platform and travel into a ceiling bay. Stopping the unit does not remove the water already held in wood, drywall or insulation.
An attic unit may be repaired before a ceiling dries. The restoration technician records insulation and drywall readings while the HVAC professional works above.
