How Sagging Wet Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in New Franken

1. 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.

2. Map the moisture

   Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.

3. Open the wet layers

   Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.

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.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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.

• Keep everyone out of the room and away from the sagging area
• Do not poke, press or puncture the bulge yourself
• Turn off power to the room at the panel only if the floor is dry and the panel is easy to reach
• Pull valuables from the edges of the room, never from under the sag
• Photograph the ceiling from the doorway
