How Leaking Ceiling Water Damage Works in Eminence
Fans and an open window dry the air in a room, not the water trapped inside a ceiling. Left alone, that moisture can feed growth inside two days, so the crew measures first and dries the cavity.
-
Drain and extract the water
Plastic sheeting goes down first, then the crew drains the ceiling and lifts water off carpet and hard floors. Furniture and belongings get moved or blocked up so nothing sits in the wet.
-
Map the moisture
Meters and cameras find what eyes cannot, such as damp insulation above sound-looking drywall. Each reading is logged with a time and a location for the claim file.
-
Take out what holds water
Textured ceilings in older homes may need testing before they are cut. When a sample is called for, the crew holds off until the result is back before disturbing the material.
-
Dry and verify
With the cavity open, air movers push moving air across the framing and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the room. Equipment is sized to the Class 1 to 4 rating of each space.
Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
Warm air that leaks into a cold attic condenses on the roof deck and freezes into frost. When the frost melts, it drips onto insulation and soaks through, and the homeowner sees a stain with no rain at all.
