Job completed for Hathorn- AC leak Baton Rouge

United Fire and Water recently responded to a residential AC leak in Baton Rouge, LA, where condensation and water from the unit had leaked onto the home's wood floors, along with damage extending into the ceiling and walls. AC leaks can be deceptively damaging since water often travels along ceiling cavities and wall framing before it becomes visible, so a full assessment was needed to determine the true extent of the damage beyond just the flooring.

Our team began by removing the affected sheetrock from the ceiling and walls to expose all areas impacted by the leak, then carefully covered and protected the homeowner's belongings throughout the restoration process. From there, we thoroughly cleaned and sanitized every affected surface to eliminate contaminants and prevent any risk of mold growth before moving into the drying phase. Professional drying equipment was set up and monitored closely to ensure the space was dried to approved IICRC standards, the industry benchmark for proper water damage restoration. With drying complete, our team prepared the site for rebuild, setting the homeowner up for a smooth transition into repairs. This job is a good reminder that AC leaks, though often overlooked, can cause damage well beyond what's visible on the surface. If you notice water damage from an AC unit or any other source in your Baton Rouge home, United Fire and Water is ready to help from assessment through rebuild.
