How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Highlands
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Open and remove what is soaked
In Highlands, 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.
-
Dry and verify
IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.
