-
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.
-
Map the moisture
A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Soaked insulation is among the slowest materials to dry. Some of it is bagged out so the framing can dry in the open. The call depends on the water category and on how long it sat wet.
- Stay out of the room until the rest of the ceiling is checked
- Keep children and pets away from debris and dust
- Switch off power to the room at the panel only from dry ground
- Shut the water off if a pipe is the source
- Photograph the debris, the opening and ruined belongings before anything moves
