How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in New Madrid
Air barely moves inside a ceiling cavity, so damp stays put. A small access opening and an air mover pointed inside speed evaporation. That shortens the time wet material spends in the risk window.
-
Release the trapped water
A bulge can hold gallons. The technician cuts a relief hole well away from wiring and catches the flow in a container or a hose to a drain.
-
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
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
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.
