Understanding AC Leak
In South Florida's subtropical climate, air conditioning isn't a luxury—it's a necessity. With AC units running nearly year-round, the potential for AC-related water damage is significantly higher than in other regions. AC leaks are one of the most common causes of water damage in Florida homes, often going unnoticed until significant damage has occurred.
AC systems produce condensation as part of the cooling process. This moisture is supposed to drain safely away through the condensate line. However, when drain lines become clogged, drip pans overflow, or evaporator coils ice up, water can leak into your home's structure, causing damage to ceilings, walls, insulation, and flooring.
Because AC leaks often occur in attics or utility closets, the damage can spread extensively before homeowners notice visible signs. Water from a leaking AC unit can travel through wall cavities and ceiling spaces, creating hidden pockets of moisture that lead to mold growth, wood rot, and compromised structural integrity.
Our restoration specialists understand the unique challenges of AC water damage in South Florida. We not only restore the damage but help identify the root cause to prevent future incidents.
Why You Need to Act Fast
AC leaks may seem minor, but they can cause significant hidden damage. Water travels along unexpected paths inside walls and ceilings, often affecting areas far from the original leak. In Florida's humid environment, mold can begin growing within 24-48 hours. Early intervention prevents extensive water damage, costly mold remediation, and potential health hazards.
