How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Westerly
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.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.
-
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.
