How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Holy Cross

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.

1. Drain the water above

   The crew finds the low point where water has pooled and starts the drain-down there. A wet-vac handles what the containers cannot hold.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Extraction passes repeat until the wand pulls up very little. Then the technician checks the floor with a meter.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Soaked insulation goes into bags, and drywall that has gone soft comes down in sections. The crew cuts back to dry, solid edges.

4. Dry and verify

   At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.
