How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Cardwell

Spores float in ordinary air, so mold only needs a damp spot to take hold. A wet ceiling is that spot, and the clock starts with the first drip.

1. Drain the water above

   Before anyone opens the ceiling, the crew covers the floor and furniture below. Then it releases the trapped water in stages, so the weight comes off the drywall gradually.

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

   In Cardwell, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. Dry and verify

   A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.
