• Water Through Ceiling Leak Cleanup

• Bathroom Above Ceiling Leak Cleanup

  A growing stain shows water wicking sideways, so the crew draws the true wet boundary before drying.

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Mc Intosh

Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.

1. Release the trapped water

   Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.

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

   Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
