How Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Confluence

A warm attic and a damp layer of insulation make a comfortable spot for growth to begin. The risk climbs with every day the material stays wet. A crew in Confluence measures each layer so none gets left behind.

1. Release the trapped water

   Buckets and plastic go down before anything is opened. Furniture and floors stay covered so the water has nowhere to soak in.

2. Map the moisture

   The measurements go onto a simple room sketch. Return visits use the same spots, so progress is easy to see.

3. Open the wet layers

   Cuts are made in straight lines, a little beyond the wet edge. Clean edges make the later patch easier for the drywall finisher.

4. Dry and verify

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