How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Grammer
Cleanup does not wait for a test to prove a problem. The first moves are always the same: remove standing water, pull what cannot dry and run dehumidifiers. Waiting for proof only hands moisture more time.
-
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
A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
