How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Ashton

Mold needs moisture, a food source and time. Drywall paper and wood framing supply the food. Removing the water takes away the one piece the crew can control.

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

   Extraction passes repeat until the wand pulls up very little. Then the technician checks the floor with a meter.

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

   IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Calling for removal does not file a claim and does not change what a policy pays. It does protect the home and build the records. Phone the insurer and the crew together.

• Keep the plumber's or roofer's note about what caused the leak
• Log the date and the name of everyone you talk to at the insurer
• Write down the date and time you first saw the water

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
