HVAC condensation water damage cleanup in North Central 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. This is separate from the HVAC repair itself, which an HVAC technician handles, and the water damage portion is commonly covered under a standard homeowner policy when the cause is sudden and accidental.
