How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Colstrip

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet drywall and insulation. Getting the water out fast takes away what it needs to get started.

1. Drain the water above

   The crew finds the low point where water has pooled and starts the drain-down there. A wet-vac handles what the containers cannot hold.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   A wet-vac and extractor pull water out of the carpet and pad under the drip zone. Hard floors get the same treatment until no standing water is left.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   The cutouts follow the moisture map, not a guess. Sound drywall stays in place wherever the readings allow.

4. Dry and verify

   The final check covers framing, drywall edges and the walls under the stain. Only then does the crew pull the equipment and hand over the records.
