How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Wausaukee

Opening a ceiling lets moisture escape and shows the crew what is happening above. It can feel drastic, but it is often the quickest way to keep dampness from lingering.

1. Drain the water above

   In Wausaukee, the first job is often the same: take the weight off the ceiling and get the water into containers. The crew keeps people out from under the sag while it works.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The crew vacuums water from the open joist bays and ceiling edges, so nothing stays pooled above the lower layer of drywall.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   The crew photographs what comes out and labels it for the insurance file before it goes into debris bags.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.
