What AC Drain Pan Overflow Cleanup Includes in Magee
Photos of the initial leak path and drying measurements help record the Magee 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.
A plumber addresses a domestic water pipe, but an AC drain problem belongs to the cooling trade. Extraction technicians handle the building water either way.
