How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Longs

Dark specks in a ceiling corner that keep spreading are a signal to act now. The crew dries the area around them and removes the materials that stay soaked.

1. Drain the water above

   In Longs, the first job is often the same: take the weight off the ceiling and get the water into containers. The crew keeps people out from under the sag while it works.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Standing water on a finished floor can seep into the seams. The crew vacuums those edges first, then works toward the middle of the room.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   In Longs, 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

   A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.
