How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Talmage

Opening a ceiling lets moisture escape and shows the crew what is happening above. It can feel drastic, but it is often the quickest way to keep dampness from lingering.

1. Drain the water above

   In Talmage, the first job is often the same: take the weight off the ceiling and get the water into containers. The crew keeps people out from under the sag while it works.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.

• Write down the date and time you first saw the water
