How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Greenleaf
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
Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.
-
Map the moisture
A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.
-
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
After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
