How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Lunenburg
Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Lunenburg crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
The crew looks at what sits above the ceiling too. An attic, a floor with a subfloor or a roof deck can each hold water that the room below never shows.
-
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.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
