How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Mount Sterling

People react to mold differently, and anyone with asthma or allergies should stay out of a damp room. The best protection for the household is getting the water out and the materials dry.

1. Drain the water above

   Controlled release keeps the water off your carpet. The technician works from the edge of the bulge toward the center while everyone stays clear.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   In Mount Sterling, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. Dry and verify

   At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.
