How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in New Cumberland
Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.
-
Release the trapped water
If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.
-
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
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
