How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Fall River

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

   If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.

2. Map the moisture

   The measurements go onto a simple room sketch. Return visits use the same spots, so progress is easy to see.

3. Open the wet layers

   Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.

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.
