• Water Through Ceiling Leak Cleanup

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Labolt

Soaked insulation is among the slowest materials to dry. Some of it is bagged out so the framing can dry in the open. The call depends on the water category and on how long it sat wet.

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

   Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
