How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Goodrich

Humid weather slows drying, and slow drying favors growth. Dehumidifiers pull water out of the air so the ceiling can release its own. A Goodrich crew sizes the equipment to the room instead of using a rule of thumb.

1. Release the trapped water

   Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.

2. Map the moisture

   A dry reference reading from an untouched ceiling gives the crew a target. Drying aims for that number, not for a feeling.

3. Open the wet layers

   Wet insulation is pulled from the cavity, bagged and hauled off. Leaving it packed against framing keeps the wood wet for days.

4. Dry and verify

   The drying log lists the days each machine ran and the readings taken. That log supports the insurance file.
