How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Sonoita

Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Sonoita crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.

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

   Readings start at the stain and move outward until they hit dry material. That border becomes the edge of the work area.

3. Open the wet layers

   Dust control matters when a ceiling comes down. The crew covers floors and seals doorways so debris stays in the work area.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers push air across the open framing and dehumidifiers pull water out of the room. Both stay on until the readings drop.
