How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Dannebrog

A ceiling can look dry while the board above the paint is still wet. If the insulation holds water, the 24 to 48 hour window keeps running. Meter readings, not looks, show when it is over.

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

   Humidity and temperature in the room get logged next to the material readings. Both affect how fast the ceiling can dry.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

   After the equipment leaves, the rebuild can begin. The crew hands over the log so the drywall contractor knows the framing is ready.

It gets heavy when wet, and the crew decides how much has to go.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A storm that tears a roof open may be treated differently from a roof that simply wore out. Coverage for the water that came through depends on how the insurer reads the cause. Photos of the roof and the ceiling both help. Coverage depends on the policy, so ask your insurer.

• Keep the old part if a plumber removed it
• List ruined items by room with a rough value
• Photograph the roof or the unit above if you can do it safely

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
