How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Heart Butte

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

   Light fixtures and fans in the wet area stay off. The technician works around them and leaves any wiring decision to an electrician.

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

   The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
