How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Riverton

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.

1. Drain the water above

   Before anyone opens the ceiling, the crew covers the floor and furniture below. Then it releases the trapped water in stages, so the weight comes off the drywall gradually.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

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

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

The repair of a pipe or roof is often outside the claim, even when the damage it caused is inside. A plumber or roofer bills that work separately. The claim usually deals with the water damage that followed.

• Ask the crew for the moisture map and the daily readings
• List damaged furniture and electronics with rough prices
• Note any earlier leaks or repairs in the same spot
