How AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Works in Caruthersville
-
Extract the escaped water

-
Map the wet boundary
The visible ceiling stain may be smaller than the wet insulation above. A technician checks the broader span before choosing equipment.
-
Remove material that holds water
Soaked insulation may block a ceiling cavity from drying. The crew removes material when its condition calls for it.
-
Dry and verify materials
The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
