How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Poland

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.

1. Drain the water above

   Before anyone opens the ceiling, the crew covers the floor and furniture below. Then it releases the trapped water in stages, so the weight comes off the drywall gradually.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

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

   A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.
