How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Lomax

A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.

1. Release the trapped water

   Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.

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

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