How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Reform

Spores are already floating in most homes. What they lack is water, and a wet ceiling supplies plenty. The paper face on drywall is an easy surface for them to settle on.

1. Release the trapped water

   A bulge can hold gallons. The technician cuts a relief hole well away from wiring and catches the flow in a container or a hose to a drain.

2. 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.

3. Open the wet layers

   Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.

4. Dry and verify

   A technician returns each day to repeat the readings at the sketched spots. A reading that stops falling means water is still trapped somewhere.
