How Ceiling Water Removal Works in New Douglas
A ceiling that feels dry after the dripping stops may still be damp inside. A meter finds that moisture, and the crew keeps drying until the numbers drop.
-
Drain the water above
The crew finds the low point where water has pooled and starts the drain-down there. A wet-vac handles what the containers cannot hold.
-
Extract the floor and the cavity
The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
Wet insulation keeps a ceiling damp for days. Taking it out is often the quickest way to stop the moisture.
-
Dry and verify
A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.
