  After a wet ceiling falls, the crew clears heavy debris, extracts the water and dries the open joists.

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Sunburg

Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Sunburg crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.

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

   Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.

Gutters packed with ice send water behind the fascia and down into the soffit. The ceiling at the eave shows the stain first. After the dry-out, the owner chooses the contractor for the rebuild. The crew's log tells that contractor when the framing is ready.
