How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Murphys

-
Drain the water above
The technician cuts power to the area and sets containers or a pump hose under the lowest point of the bulge. A small controlled opening lets the water run out instead of dropping in a rush.
-
Extract the floor and the cavity
Carpet pad that soaked through is often cut out and removed, because it dries slowly and keeps holding water against the subfloor.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.
-
Dry and verify
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.
