How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Oyster Bay

A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.

1. 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.

2. Map the moisture

   A technician scans the ceiling with a thermal camera, then checks suspect spots with a meter. Cold patches that read wet show where the water really went.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.
