How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Bartelso

Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Bartelso crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.

1. Release the trapped water

   Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.

2. Map the moisture

   Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.

3. Open the wet layers

   Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.

4. Dry and verify

   Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
