How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Hessmer

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

   In Hessmer, the first job is often the same: take the weight off the ceiling and get the water into containers. The crew keeps people out from under the sag while it works.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Extraction passes repeat until the wand pulls up very little. Then the technician checks the floor with a meter.

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

   The final check covers framing, drywall edges and the walls under the stain. Only then does the crew pull the equipment and hand over the records.
