How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Kents Store
A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.
-
Release the trapped water
The crew checks the room for electrical hazards first, then looks for the lowest point of any bulge. A small, controlled opening lets the water run into a bucket instead of down onto the floor.
-
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
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
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
