How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in West Kingston

Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.

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

   Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.
