How Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Genoa

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

   Meter readings outline which Genoa building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.

3. Remove material that holds water

   Loose ceiling drywall should be assessed from a safe position. Removal may be needed when material is unstable or saturated.

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

• 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.
