How this estimate works
This check weighs what drives AC overflow damage: an air handler in the attic above finished ceilings, a missing or rusted secondary pan, no float switch to shut the unit off, and a condensate drain that has not been cleared. In humid Gulf Coast air an AC system pulls water out of the air for most of the year, so a clogged drain line fills a pan fast.
It is a rough screen, not an inspection. An HVAC technician clears the drain and repairs the pan; drying the insulation, ceiling and walls is the restoration side. See AC drain line and air handler leaks and roof leak water damage.

An overflowing drain pan keeps adding water until the line is cleared. The drying team dries the insulation, drywall and framing.
