How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Garnett

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

   The technician cuts power to the area and sets containers or a pump hose under the lowest point of the bulge. A small controlled opening lets the water run out instead of dropping in a rush.

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

   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

   A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

A cracked or clogged one can drip into the ceiling.

• List damaged furniture and electronics with rough prices
• Keep the crew's written scope with the policy papers
