How Leaking Ceiling Water Damage Works in Mount Airy
Still air above a ceiling lets damp material stay damp. Air movers and LGR dehumidifiers break up that stillness, and that is the point of drying the cavity itself instead of only the room.
-
Drain and extract the water
The technician confirms the power is off to the wet room before anyone touches the ceiling. With the room made safe, the crew drains the trapped water and extracts what has fallen to the floor.
-
Map the moisture
Moisture follows joists, runs down wall cavities and collects at the top of the walls below. The map covers the ceiling, the walls and the floor, so no wet corner gets missed.
-
Take out what holds water
Opening the ceiling also lets the crew see where the water traveled. Photos of wet framing, stained decking and ruined insulation go into the file before anything is thrown away.
-
Dry and verify
A dry ceiling cavity is the goal, not just a dry-looking ceiling. The crew verifies with meters at the same spots that read wet on day one.
