How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Rensselaerville

Mold needs moisture, a food source and time. Drywall paper and wood framing supply the food. Removing the water takes away the one piece the crew can control.

1. Drain the water above

   The technician cuts power to the area and sets containers or a pump hose under the lowest point of the bulge. A small controlled opening lets the water run out instead of dropping in a rush.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   A wet-vac and extractor pull water out of the carpet and pad under the drip zone. Hard floors get the same treatment until no standing water is left.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.

4. Dry and verify

   A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.
