How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Genoa
Painting over a stain does not remove the moisture behind it. Trapped water keeps feeding whatever starts in the dark. The crew dries the layers first so any new paint sits on dry board.
-
Release the trapped water
Buckets and plastic go down before anything is opened. Furniture and floors stay covered so the water has nowhere to soak in.
-
Map the moisture
A dry reference reading from an untouched ceiling gives the crew a target. Drying aims for that number, not for a feeling.
-
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.
-
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.
