How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Chataignier
A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.
-
Release the trapped water
If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.
-
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
Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.
