How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Merrill

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. A ceiling that stays damp over a weekend gives it a head start. Fast extraction and drying take away the moisture it needs.

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

   Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
