What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Pflugerville
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Pflugerville loss. The insurer decides coverage under the policy.
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.
