How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Cofield
Spores are already floating in most homes. What they lack is water, and a wet ceiling supplies plenty. The paper face on drywall is an easy surface for them to settle on.
-
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
After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
