Many Tanque Verde ranch and custom homes run roof-mounted evaporative coolers, which work overtime in the far-east foothills heat. When a float sticks, a pad clogs, or a line fails, water runs down through the roof into ceilings — often over large, open custom living spaces.
Why Tanque Verde sees this
Tanque Verde’s large lots and custom homes mean big roof areas, long cooler runs, and expansive ceilings at risk. Hard water scales the float valves, and a slow rooftop leak can soak insulation and drywall over a wide area before a stain appears.

What swamp cooler leak cleanup involves
A crew finds the moisture, dries or removes wet drywall and insulation, treats any mold, and restores the ceiling. Reservoir cooler water is usually Category 2, so saturated porous materials may need removal. An HVAC tech should repair the cooler so it doesn’t recur.
Because cooler leaks feed hidden mold, the U.S. EPA mold guide explains the 24–48 hour window, and qualified crews dry to the IICRC S500 water-restoration standard.
What to do first
Stop the source & stay safe
Turn off the cooler’s water supply and the unit, and keep clear of any sagging, water-filled ceiling.
Document it
Photograph everything before cleanup for your insurance claim.
