-
Water Through Ceiling Leak Cleanup
Water pours through the ceiling into the room below. A crew pumps the floor and dries both levels.

Bathroom Above Ceiling Leak Cleanup

Soaked drywall, plaster and insulation are cut out in sections and bagged, leaving firm dry material in place.

Collapsed Ceiling Leak Cleanup
Standing water comes off the floor first, and carpet, pad and furniture are lifted so they stop absorbing moisture.

Ceiling Light Leak Cleanup
Water at a ceiling light means wet wiring above, so power goes off before any drying starts.

Ceiling Fan Leak Cleanup
A wet fan sprays beds and floors, so the crew dries that zone and the ceiling above it.
-
After-Rain Ceiling Leak Cleanup
A roofer closes the opening while the crew works the inside, and the two jobs go on side by side.

How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Helena
Air barely moves inside a ceiling cavity, so damp stays put. A small access opening and an air mover pointed inside speed evaporation. That shortens the time wet material spends in the risk window.
-
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.
-
Map the moisture
Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.
-
Open the wet layers
Photos are taken before and after each opening. They document what was found behind the paint.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.

Gutters packed with ice send water behind the fascia and down into the soffit. The ceiling at the eave shows the stain first. After the dry-out, the owner chooses the contractor for the rebuild. The crew's log tells that contractor when the framing is ready.
