How Leaking Ceiling Water Damage Works in Revillo

Wet insulation can stay damp for weeks if nobody opens the cavity. Crews around Revillo remove it and dry the framing, because the mold clock starts running as soon as the material gets wet.

1. Drain and extract the water

   Water pooled in a ceiling adds weight at about 8 pounds per gallon, so the crew drains it before taking down any drywall. Draining first keeps the ceiling from dropping in one wet sheet.

2. Map the moisture

   Where the attic is reachable, the technician checks the insulation and the underside of the roof deck. That shows whether water is still arriving or has stopped.

3. Take out what holds water

   Soaked insulation holds water like a sponge, so it comes out and gets bagged. The crew removes drywall that sags, crumbles or stays wet, cutting a few inches past the last wet reading.

4. 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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Renters usually carry renters insurance for their own belongings, because the landlord's policy generally covers the building. In a condo, the association's policy and your own unit policy can each play a part. Each insurer decides its own share, and the crew's records help everyone involved.

• Photograph the room after the dry-out so the finished state is on record
• Keep a log of every call with the insurer, with names and dates
• Keep the failed part, such as a supply line or fitting, for the adjuster

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
