How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Bowdoin

Spores float in ordinary air, so mold only needs a damp spot to take hold. A wet ceiling is that spot, and the clock starts with the first drip.

1. Drain the water above

   A pump and hose can carry drained water out of the room, so there are no buckets to haul through the house. The crew sends it to a proper drain.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Carpet pad that soaked through is often cut out and removed, because it dries slowly and keeps holding water against the subfloor.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Texture, paint and paper facing can look fine while the gypsum behind them is saturated. The meter tells the crew which pieces have to go.

4. Dry and verify

   At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.
