How AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Works in Forgan

1. Extract the escaped water

   A mini split drip may run down a wall to the floor. The technician removes collected water at the wall base.

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

   Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.

4. Dry and verify materials

   The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Condensate in insulation can remain after the ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity instead of relying on the surface stain.

• Switch off the AC from a dry control if safe.
• Avoid touching a wet pan, cabinet or nearby wiring.
• Keep people out of any room with a bulging ceiling.
• Move dry belongings away from the spill path.
• Note whether water is dripping below the unit.
