Release the trapped water

The measurements go onto a simple room sketch. Return visits use the same spots, so progress is easy to see.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. A ceiling that stays damp over a weekend gives it a head start. Fast extraction and drying take away the moisture it needs.
- Do not touch the switch, the fixture or any wet cord
- Turn the breaker off from a dry floor, or stay out if the panel is wet
- Keep people and pets out from under the fixture
- Place a container under the drip and move belongings away
- Photograph the fixture and the stain from a safe distance
