Ceiling Water Extraction Services in Planada
Ceiling Cavity Drying Services
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the joists, insulation and back of the drywall through the opening or small access holes.
Wet Ceiling Drywall Removal
Drywall that is soft, sagging or soaked through is cut out to firm material, opening the cavity so the space above can dry.
Ceiling Mold Prevention Services
Stopping the leak at its source keeps the cavity from getting wet again after treatment.
Ceiling Moisture Inspection
An inspection shows how far water spread across the ceiling, which decides what is drained, dried or removed.
