AC Condensate Leak Cleanup

OPEN NOW · CREWS ANSWER 24/7

An air conditioner pulls water out of the air every hour it runs, and a Valley summer means a lot of hours. That water is supposed to leave through a small drain line. When the line clogs with algae or debris, the pan under an attic unit fills and overflows, and the first sign is a brown stain spreading across the ceiling below.

Call and a dispatcher connects you with a local crew that finds where the water went, removes soaked insulation and ceiling drywall that cannot be saved, and dries the attic and the rooms under it. Clearing the drain itself is a job for your HVAC tech, and the crew documents the cause for both of you and for your insurance.

What the crew handles

Attic and ceiling drying

Wet insulation pulled, framing and ceiling drywall dried, so the stain does not come back as mold.

Following the water

Meters and thermal cameras trace water along joists and into walls, often well away from the stain.

Sagging ceilings handled safely

Drywall holding water is drained or removed in a controlled way before it comes down on its own.

The cause on record

Photos of the pan, the drain line, and the damage, for the HVAC repair and for your claim.

Common questions

There is a stain on the ceiling under my AC. What should I do first?

Turn the AC off at the thermostat so it stops making water, put a bucket under any drip, and call. If the ceiling is bulging, keep people and pets out of that room.

Do I need a restoration crew or an HVAC tech?

Often both. The HVAC tech clears the drain and checks the float switch that should shut the unit off when the pan fills. The restoration crew handles the wet attic, insulation, and ceiling, which the HVAC visit does not cover.

We have a swamp cooler on the roof. Same problem?

Close to it. Rooftop evaporative coolers leak when a float valve sticks or the pan rusts through, and the water gets in around the roof opening. The cleanup and drying below are the same.
