How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Heth
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
Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.
-
Open the wet layers
Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.
-
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.
