What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Mokane
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Mokane loss. The insurer decides coverage under the policy.
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.
Two trades may be needed for one leak: cooling equipment service and structural drying. Each focuses on a different part of the loss.

How AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Works in Mokane
-
Extract the escaped water
Water trapped against trim can keep moving through a room. The crew removes bulk moisture before setting drying equipment.
-
Map the wet boundary
Floor seams and baseboards can conceal an AC overflow path. Moisture mapping shows where the liquid traveled.
-
Remove material that holds water
Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.
-
Dry and verify materials
A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.

- 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.
