How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Salyer

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on damp drywall and insulation, according to the EPA. That short window is why crews drain the ceiling and get air moving across the cavity before anything else.

1. Drain and extract the water

   A swollen ceiling can hold gallons, so the crew drains it into containers instead of letting it drop. Wet-vac wands and portable extractors take over from there.

2. Map the moisture

   Thermal cameras and moisture meters show where the water traveled above and below the ceiling. The technician sketches the wet zones on a floor plan of the home.

3. Open what holds water

   In homes from before the 1980s, the texture on the ceiling is handled with care and tested before anyone scrapes or cuts it, because older finishes can contain asbestos.

4. Dry and verify

   A clean-water ceiling loss commonly needs three to five drying days, and a wet attic or a leak that reached the walls can stretch that. The technician adjusts airflow as readings change.
