How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Paguate
Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.
-
Release the trapped water
Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.
-
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
Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.
-
Dry and verify
A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.
