How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Prairie Du Chien

A warm attic and a damp layer of insulation make a comfortable spot for growth to begin. The risk climbs with every day the material stays wet. A crew in Prairie Du Chien measures each layer so none gets left behind.

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 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.

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

   A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.
