How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Gurley

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.

1. Drain the water above

   The technician cuts power to the area and sets containers or a pump hose under the lowest point of the bulge. A small controlled opening lets the water run out instead of dropping in a rush.

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

   Wet insulation keeps a ceiling damp for days. Taking it out is often the quickest way to stop the moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   The final check covers framing, drywall edges and the walls under the stain. Only then does the crew pull the equipment and hand over the records.
