How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Moran

1. Extract the escaped water

   An attic overflow may drip into a room below. The crew captures surface water before evaluating the ceiling material.

2. Map the wet boundary

   Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation from wet Moran materials. Repeat readings show whether moisture is dropping.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A ceiling cavity can hold condensate beyond the visible stain. Drying equipment and progress readings address the absorbed moisture.

• Keep people and pets out of rooms beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch dripping lights, switches or ceiling fans.
• Turn off the AC from a safe, dry control if possible.
• Avoid walking across attic insulation or unsupported surfaces.
• Describe visible stains and drips from outside the affected room.
