How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Los Lunas
A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.
-
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
Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.
