How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Ogema
Cleanup does not wait for a test to prove a problem. The first moves are always the same: remove standing water, pull what cannot dry and run dehumidifiers. Waiting for proof only hands moisture more time.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
The crew looks at what sits above the ceiling too. An attic, a floor with a subfloor or a roof deck can each hold water that the room below never shows.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
