How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Ridgeway

A ceiling that feels dry after the dripping stops may still be damp inside. A meter finds that moisture, and the crew keeps drying until the numbers drop.

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

   The cutouts follow the moisture map, not a guess. Sound drywall stays in place wherever the readings allow.

4. Dry and verify

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