How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Marquand

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. A ceiling that stays damp over a weekend gives it a head start. Fast extraction and drying take away the moisture it needs.

1. Release the trapped water

   Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.

2. Map the moisture

   Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.

3. Open the wet layers

   Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.

4. 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.
