How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Gentry

Fresh paint over a stain can trap moisture and hide a growing problem. The crew dries the structure first and leaves the cosmetic work for later.

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

   Soaked insulation goes into bags, and drywall that has gone soft comes down in sections. The crew cuts back to dry, solid edges.

4. Dry and verify

   IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.
