How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Graniteville

A musty smell in a room below a leak can point to a layer that never dried. A meter finds it behind the paint. Call early, because early water removal is the best protection.

1. Release the trapped water

   If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.

3. Open the wet layers

   Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.

4. 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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A deductible comes out of any covered payment, and policy limits can cap it. Small ceiling losses sometimes cost less than the deductible. Ask the insurer for the amount before deciding how to file. The crew's records stay useful either way.

• Keep the old part if a plumber removed it
• Photograph the roof or the unit above if you can do it safely
• Ask the adjuster what to keep and what to discard

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
