How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Cannel City
Spores are already floating in most homes. What they lack is water, and a wet ceiling supplies plenty. The paper face on drywall is an easy surface for them to settle on.
-
Release the trapped water
Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.
-
Map the moisture
Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.
-
Open the wet layers
Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.
