How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Mc Grath

Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.

1. Release the trapped water

   Buckets and plastic go down before anything is opened. Furniture and floors stay covered so the water has nowhere to soak in.

2. Map the moisture

   Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.

3. Open the wet layers

   Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.

4. Dry and verify

   After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
