How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Hacker Valley
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.
-
Drain the water above
The crew finds the low point where water has pooled and starts the drain-down there. A wet-vac handles what the containers cannot hold.
-
Extract the floor and the cavity
Standing water on a finished floor can seep into the seams. The crew vacuums those edges first, then works toward the middle of the room.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
The crew photographs what comes out and labels it for the insurance file before it goes into debris bags.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.
