How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Gilmanton Iron Works
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.
-
Release the trapped water
The crew checks the room for electrical hazards first, then looks for the lowest point of any bulge. A small, controlled opening lets the water run into a bucket instead of down onto the floor.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reference reading from an untouched ceiling gives the crew a target. Drying aims for that number, not for a feeling.
-
Open the wet layers
Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.
-
Dry and verify
After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
