How AC Drain Line Overflow Cleanup Works in Orion
If a ceiling is bulging, stay clear of it. The crew can assess the water safely and dry the structure after saturated materials are addressed. Do not enter the room beneath a sagging ceiling.
-
Extract escaped condensate
Water that reached adjacent rooms is removed before drying equipment is set. A moisture map shows where extraction must extend. Extraction reaches wet spots beyond the unit when condensate has moved into a second room.
-
Map the hidden wet area
Moisture readings follow the path from the AC to ceilings, walls, and floors. The visible stain is only a starting point. A reading above the stain helps determine whether insulation remains wet against ceiling framing.
-
Address soaked materials
Saturated insulation may be removed so framing can dry. Damaged drywall is opened only where the wet condition calls for access. Removing insulation exposes wet framing and allows the drying equipment to work on the cavity.
-
Dry and check progress
After extraction and material removal, the crew tracks framing and subfloor moisture. Rebuild is considered when drying is complete. Framing and subfloor measurements help decide when the structure can move to rebuild.
