How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Norfork

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

   Controlled release keeps the water off your carpet. The technician works from the edge of the bulge toward the center while everyone stays clear.

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

   In Norfork, 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

   Humidity matters as much as airflow. The technician tracks room readings so the dehumidifier finishes what the fans start.
