How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Loda
Spores are already floating in most homes. What they lack is water, and a wet ceiling supplies plenty. The paper face on drywall is an easy surface for them to settle on.
-
Release the trapped water
A bulge can hold gallons. The technician cuts a relief hole well away from wiring and catches the flow in a container or a hose to a drain.
-
Map the moisture
The measurements go onto a simple room sketch. Return visits use the same spots, so progress is easy to see.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
