What Attic AC Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Jay

Water from attic ac leak into ceiling cleanup can follow trim and seams into concealed layers. A Jay crew measures the actual wet area before equipment goes in.

When the drain pan spills into a closet, HVAC work stops the cause. Water removal begins with the adjoining floor and wall base.
