How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Cornish

Air barely moves inside a ceiling cavity, so damp stays put. A small access opening and an air mover pointed inside speed evaporation. That shortens the time wet material spends in the risk window.

1. Release the trapped water

   The crew checks the room for electrical hazards first, then looks for the lowest point of any bulge. A small, controlled opening lets the water run into a bucket instead of down onto the floor.

2. Map the moisture

   Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
