• Water Through Ceiling Leak Cleanup

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Dunmor

A musty smell in a room below a leak can point to a layer that never dried. A meter finds it behind the paint. Call early, because early water removal is the best protection.

1. Release the trapped water

   Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.

2. Map the moisture

   The crew looks at what sits above the ceiling too. An attic, a floor with a subfloor or a roof deck can each hold water that the room below never shows.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   Dense materials like framing dry slower than thin board. The crew moves equipment around so each zone gets air until it reaches its target.
