Bathroom Above Ceiling Leak Cleanup

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Franktown
Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Franktown crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.
-
Release the trapped water
The crew checks the room for electrical hazards first, then looks for the lowest point of any bulge. A small, controlled opening lets the water run into a bucket instead of down onto the floor.
-
Map the moisture
Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.
-
Open the wet layers
Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.
