Frequently Asked Questions About Ceiling Water Extraction
What causes a ceiling to need water damage repair?
Roof leaks, plumbing leaks above, attic AC overflows, bathroom leaks and failed skylight or window seals.
How quickly should I deal with water in my ceiling?
Right away. Water adds weight to the drywall and keeps soaking in, and a bulging ceiling can fall without warning.
What happens during ceiling leak water cleanup?
Water, wet insulation and fallen drywall are removed from above and below, and the room is cleaned and dried.
How do I know if my ceiling needs moisture removal?
If it is stained, bulging, dripping, soft or smells musty, the drywall or the space above is holding water.
What should I do while waiting for ceiling water removal help?
Clear the room, catch drips in a bucket, turn off wet light fixtures and stay out from under any bulge.
