How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Liberty

Mold needs moisture, a food source and time. Drywall paper and wood framing supply the food. Removing the water takes away the one piece the crew can control.

1. Drain the water above

   Controlled release keeps the water off your carpet. The technician works from the edge of the bulge toward the center while everyone stays clear.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Liberty's ZIP codes hold 14,656 housing units, and about 41% of them were built before 1980. The typical home in the ZIP codes around Liberty was built in the 1980s. Many second-floor laundry rooms date from this period. A washer hose that fails can pour water through the ceiling underneath.

Temperature swings expand and shrink roof materials. Flashing that loosened over a year can let rain in at the next storm. Most homes near Liberty are lived in by their owners, so the person calling usually holds the homeowners policy and approves the work.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Condo owners may have two policies in play, the association's and their own. Which one responds can depend on where the water started. The crew's records make the story easier to tell.

• Hold off on throwing out soaked materials until the insurer has seen photos
• Log the date and the name of everyone you talk to at the insurer
• Ask the crew for the moisture map and the daily readings

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