HVAC condensation water damage cleanup in Millbrae typically runs from about $300 to $1,500, depending on whether the leak was caught early or ran long enough to reach a ceiling below or spread beyond the equipment closet. A contained closet floor leak sits on the low end, while a slow leak that stained a ceiling or soaked attic insulation runs higher.
