How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Kennard

Insulation holds water against the back of the drywall for days. Pulling it out is usually the fastest way to cut off the moisture that feeds growth.

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

   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

   In Kennard, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. Dry and verify

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

• Write down the date and time you first saw the water
• Hold off on throwing out soaked materials until the insurer has seen photos
• Save the invoice from each trade, listed by task

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
