The air handler tray in my attic overflowed, and by the time I realized what was happening it had soaked the ceiling in a closet below it. (I had been hearing an ominous dripping for several days without being able to discover the source.) The A/C technician came yesterday and fixed the drain and removed the water in the attic with a shopvac. This morning I noticed that it was still dripping, so I poked a hole and drained out quite a bit of water that had collected.
Will it eventually dry out and be OK, or will I need to have the ceiling replaced? As soon as it stopped dripping I put a floor fan in the closet and directed it upward.
I need advice from someone more knowledgable about drywall than myself.
Thank you, Harriett
