Just yesterday, we had a water pipe break, and now today we had a water overflow in the attic!
While cooking some dirty rice on the stove, I felt a drip of water. That’s odd. Where did that come from? Then another drip. And another.
I look up and realize there is a drip forming on the ceiling above the stove. I move my dirty rice out of the way (and finish it, by the way, which was very tasty) and go investigate. In a matter of minutes, the drip turns into multiple drips.
I go get Jose and say, hey, “¿Subirás al ático y verás qué está causando esta fuga?” Can you climb up in the attic and see what you can see?
The short story, we eventually discovered the leak was coming from the Condenser in the attic. I put 2 pans underneath the leak, but it wasn’t enough. It was too late. Back down in the kitchen, I said to Holly, “This is going to break through the ceiling tonight… any moment now!” So we put a plastic tarp over as many things as we could, and even set up a camera to catch the moment of collapse.
I called Air Express (the people who installed our A/C in 2012) and asked them to come fix whatever is causing this leak. They obliged and came out the next morning! Great service. Very fast. Efficient. The guy even improved our system and explained how to fix this problem ourselves. It was just a clogged drainage pipe.
Now to fix this giant hole in the kitchen ceiling…
