What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Mullan
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Mullan 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.
