How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Pollock Pines
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
A bulge can hold gallons. The technician cuts a relief hole well away from wiring and catches the flow in a container or a hose to a drain.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reference reading from an untouched ceiling gives the crew a target. Drying aims for that number, not for a feeling.
-
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.
-
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.
