Moisture meters assess the ceiling, attic insulation, and wall materials below the AC unit. We map the full extent of moisture spread from the condensate leak.
We explain what we found, what materials are affected, and the cost before any work begins. You approve the scope in writing.
Standing water is extracted from affected areas. Saturated insulation that cannot be dried in place is removed and disposed of properly.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry ceiling materials, wall cavities, and attic spaces. Daily moisture readings confirm progress.
All moisture readings and affected areas are documented in writing for your homeowner's insurance claim and records.
AC condensate and frozen pipe restoration pricing depends on the size of the affected area and how long moisture was present. A condensate leak that ran for days differs significantly from one caught early. We provide a written scope before starting.
