How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Kerens
Air barely moves inside a ceiling cavity, so damp stays put. A small access opening and an air mover pointed inside speed evaporation. That shortens the time wet material spends in the risk window.
-
Release the trapped water
Buckets and plastic go down before anything is opened. Furniture and floors stay covered so the water has nowhere to soak in.
-
Map the moisture
Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.
-
Open the wet layers
Anything older that could need testing before it is disturbed is raised with the homeowner first. The crew does not cut blind.
-
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.
