Understanding Commercial HVAC & RTU Water Damage

Rooftop units (RTUs), large air handlers, and chilled-water fan coils move enormous volumes of condensate and chilled water through drains, pans, and risers. When primary drains clog, pans overflow, or coil freeze-stat failures allow ice to thaw, water can flood roof decks, drop through roof openings, and stain multiple floors below.

South Florida’s runtime and humidity mean even small condensate issues become steady moisture loads into acoustic ceilings, VAV boxes, and corridor soffits. Leaks often appear far from the source, complicating diagnosis for facilities teams.

Our technicians map moisture vertically through the building, protect critical operations and server rooms where present, and dry assemblies without unnecessary disruption to tenants—coordinating with mechanical contractors on drain cleaning, pan repairs, and coil service.

Why You Need to Act Fast

Water migrating down core shafts or ceiling mains can affect several tenants in one event. Fast isolation, extraction, and dehumidification limit slip hazards, ceiling collapse risk, and mold in hidden ceiling plenums.

Common Causes of Commercial HVAC & RTU Water Damage

Clogged condensate drains or failed trap priming
Rusted or cracked drain pans on aged RTUs
Frozen coils and subsequent thaw on low airflow or control faults
Disconnected or sagging PVC drain lines after service
Leaking chilled-water hoses or valve packs at air handlers
Roof curb or flashing leaks at unit penetrations
Overflow from economizer or economizer drain misrouting
