Leaks originating from Air Handlers are a very common cause for water damage in warm weathers like South Florida due to the extreme humidity and constant heat we all endure. Leaks or overflows from an A/C can cause secondary damage to floors, baseboards and walls.
In addition, because drain lines from the A/C usually run in the ceiling or behind walls these small leaks can cause Mold that is hidden. Unfortunately, many homeowners’ mistakenly feel the damage is “too small” to file a claim or are simply unaware of how extensive the damage truly is.
