How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Caledonia

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.

1. Drain the water above

   A pump and hose can carry drained water out of the room, so there are no buckets to haul through the house. The crew sends it to a proper drain.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Standing water on a finished floor can seep into the seams. The crew vacuums those edges first, then works toward the middle of the room.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.

4. Dry and verify

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