How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Boxford

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.

1. Release the trapped water

   Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.

2. 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.

3. Open the wet layers

   Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.
