What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Brookdale
Water from ac drain pan overflow cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Brookdale crew measures the actual wet area before equipment goes in.
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.
A sound AC unit does not prove the structure is dry. In Brookdale, restoration measurements show whether condensate remains in building materials.
