How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Corwith

A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. 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.
