-
Drain the water above

-
Extract the floor and the cavity

Ceiling Water Removal Questions in Alcolu
Will the crew have to cut my Alcolu ceiling open?
Usually yes, at least in the wet spots. An opening lets the trapped water drain and lets the crew pull out soaked insulation. Sound drywall stays wherever the readings allow.
Do I need to move furniture before the crew arrives in Alcolu?
Small items, rugs and electronics go to a dry room if that is safe. Leave heavy pieces where they are and cover them with plastic. The crew handles the rest.
What if water drips from a light fixture in my Alcolu home?
Switch off the circuit at the breaker if you can reach the panel dry, and stay away from the fixture. An electrician checks the wiring, and the removal crew handles the water in the ceiling.
Can I stay in my Alcolu home during ceiling water removal?
Usually the rest of the home stays usable, but the work room is off limits. The drying equipment is loud, and cutting a ceiling creates dust and debris.
What records does a Alcolu crew give me for the insurance claim?
Expect photos taken before the tear-out, a moisture map, daily readings and a list of what was removed. Ask for a copy when the job wraps up.
