How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Mallard

Dark specks in a ceiling corner that keep spreading are a signal to act now. The crew dries the area around them and removes the materials that stay soaked.

1. Drain the water above

   In Mallard, the first job is often the same: take the weight off the ceiling and get the water into containers. The crew keeps people out from under the sag while it works.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   Carpet pad that soaked through is often cut out and removed, because it dries slowly and keeps holding water against the subfloor.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Soaked insulation goes into bags, and drywall that has gone soft comes down in sections. The crew cuts back to dry, solid edges.

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.
