How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Bly

1. Extract the escaped water

   Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

2. Map the wet boundary

   The technician marks affected layers so progress checks return to the same points. That record helps track drying.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

4. Dry and verify materials

   Equipment placement changes when a cavity remains damp. The technician adjusts airflow to reach the affected layer.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A soaked carpet pad traps more liquid than the carpet surface suggests. The crew removes or dries affected layers according to their condition.

• Keep people and pets out of rooms beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch dripping lights, switches or ceiling fans.
