How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Holmen
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
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
Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
