How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Mchenry
Fresh paint over a stain can trap moisture and hide a growing problem. The crew dries the structure first and leaves the cosmetic work for later.
-
Drain the water above
The technician cuts power to the area and sets containers or a pump hose under the lowest point of the bulge. A small controlled opening lets the water run out instead of dropping in a rush.
-
Extract the floor and the cavity
Extraction passes repeat until the wand pulls up very little. Then the technician checks the floor with a meter.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.
