How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in New Palestine
Air barely moves inside a ceiling cavity, so damp stays put. A small access opening and an air mover pointed inside speed evaporation. That shortens the time wet material spends in the risk window.
-
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
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
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
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
