How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Fayette

Insulation holds water against the back of the drywall for days. Pulling it out is usually the fastest way to cut off the moisture that feeds growth.

1. Drain the water above

   Before anyone opens the ceiling, the crew covers the floor and furniture below. Then it releases the trapped water in stages, so the weight comes off the drywall gradually.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The crew vacuums water from the open joist bays and ceiling edges, so nothing stays pooled above the lower layer of drywall.

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

   Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.

In Fayette, a tenant's belongings and the building itself usually fall under two different policies. The renter's insurer handles the personal items. The landlord's insurer handles the ceiling.
