How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Kings Mountain

A ceiling that feels dry after the dripping stops may still be damp inside. A meter finds that moisture, and the crew keeps drying until the numbers drop.

1. Drain the water above

   The crew finds the low point where water has pooled and starts the drain-down there. A wet-vac handles what the containers cannot hold.

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

   In Kings Mountain, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. Dry and verify

   At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Insurance companies often send an adjuster to look at the damage. The removal crew documents conditions before it tears out materials, so the adjuster sees the loss as it was.

• List damaged furniture and electronics with rough prices
• Store photos in two places so none get lost
