How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Upper Tract
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
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
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
Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
