How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Three Oaks

Fresh paint over a stain can trap moisture and hide a growing problem. The crew dries the structure first and leaves the cosmetic work for later.

1. 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.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

3. 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.

4. 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.
