How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Georgetown
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.
-
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
Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
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.
