How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Pecos

A musty smell in a room below a leak can point to a layer that never dried. A meter finds it behind the paint. Call early, because early water removal is the best protection.

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. Open the wet layers

   Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.

4. Dry and verify

   Dense materials like framing dry slower than thin board. The crew moves equipment around so each zone gets air until it reaches its target.
