How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Ballston Spa

A ceiling that feels dry after the dripping stops may still be damp inside. A meter finds that moisture, and the crew keeps drying until the numbers drop.

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

   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

   Air movers push dry air through the open bays, and LGR dehumidifiers pull moisture out of the air. The crew places them from the moisture map.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Ballston Spa was built in the 1980s. Polybutylene supply pipe went into many homes from about 1978 to 1995, and it has a known failure history. A burst above a ceiling in a house of this age is a real possibility.
