How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Basom

Insulation holds water against the back of the drywall for days. Pulling it out is usually the fastest way to cut off the moisture that feeds growth.

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

   The crew photographs what comes out and labels it for the insurance file before it goes into debris bags.

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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The repair of a pipe or roof is often outside the claim, even when the damage it caused is inside. A plumber or roofer bills that work separately. The claim usually deals with the water damage that followed.

• Ask what the policy says about deductibles and water damage
• Hold off on throwing out soaked materials until the insurer has seen photos
