Water leak in machine shop area

There is water leaking from what I assume is the AC in the machine shop. I’m cleaning it up the best I can but there is water leaking on one of the machines that is plugged in but label to do not unplug. So I either need someone with access to the breaker box to shut it off for permission to unplug it. I’ll also mention that there is a lot of water here and clearly this is been leaking for a long time without anyone doing anything about it.

Does anyone know which machine is “do not unplug” and if it would be a good idea to de-energize it?

Edit: Oops, wrong shop.

Not it. Any blacksmithing stuff can be unplugged.

That looks like the larger drill press. I’m not sure why that would be a “do-not-unplug”. Anyone else know?

Light is also slowly filling with water

everything in the machine shop can be unplugged as needed.

I shut the lathe off at the breaker which was M3 2-4-6. And I unplugged the drill press. Move the small box and some other things out of the way so they weren’t getting dripped on anymore, and cleaned up the ceiling tile and water the best I could.

Sounds like it has gotten worse instead of better. I’m going to head that way now.

Yeah it’s getting worse

It should be getting somewhat better now.





I cleaned the pan & trap. All that water on the roof came out when I unclogged the drain.

A big thank you to those help get the stuff cleaned up & get the water caught.

Wouldn’t hurt to rub a little oil on any surfaces that got wet.

Already done.
