How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Renner

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

   If a ceiling is already failing, the crew takes the sagging section down in pieces. That removes the weight from overhead and gives the water a way out.

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

   Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
