Bathroom Above Ceiling Leak Cleanup

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Kaplan
Soaked insulation is among the slowest materials to dry. Some of it is bagged out so the framing can dry in the open. The call depends on the water category and on how long it sat wet.
-
Release the trapped water
A bulge can hold gallons. The technician cuts a relief hole well away from wiring and catches the flow in a container or a hose to a drain.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reference reading from an untouched ceiling gives the crew a target. Drying aims for that number, not for a feeling.
-
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
Dense materials like framing dry slower than thin board. The crew moves equipment around so each zone gets air until it reaches its target.

Wind-driven rain can enter at gable vents and louvers. The water lands on insulation and works its way down. A homeowner may be the only one on the claim. Photos taken before cleanup help the adjuster see the damage.
