When an air handler's condensate drain clogs, the pan can overflow into the attic and soak insulation, which then stains the ceiling below. The wet insulation is removed and the ceiling is checked, while the drain problem is left to an HVAC technician.
When a neighbor is involved
In apartments and attached homes the wet area is measured on both sides of a shared wall or ceiling, and the loss is documented for each unit. Water that came through from above is covered under ceiling leak water damage, and floor pooling begins with water extraction.

Appliance and AC Condensate Leaks questions
Why do appliance leaks go unnoticed?
Most start as a slow drip behind or under a unit, so the water moves under flooring and into cabinets before any visible puddle forms.
Does the whole kitchen floor have to come up?
No. Flooring is lifted only where readings show water underneath, and dry sections stay. Laminate and vinyl over a wet subfloor are the usual removals.
Can cabinets be dried in place?
Often. Toe kicks come off and air is pushed into the voids, while particleboard that has swelled and crumbled is cut out and replaced.
What causes an AC condensate overflow?
A clogged drain or a full pan lets water spill into the attic, where insulation soaks it up and carries it to the ceiling below.
Who is responsible when a neighbor's appliance leaks?
Responsibility depends on the lease or the association rules. The crew documents the water path on both sides and notes the source unit for the adjuster.
Should the leaking appliance be replaced right away?
A failed hose or valve may need only a part. The plumber or appliance technician decides, and the failed piece is kept as evidence.
Water under a dishwasher, washer or air handler?
Name the appliance and the room. A crew explains how the floor and cabinet voids are checked and what may come up.
