How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Shishmaref

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

   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

   The crew vacuums water from the open joist bays and ceiling edges, so nothing stays pooled above the lower layer of drywall.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   Wet insulation keeps a ceiling damp for days. Taking it out is often the quickest way to stop the moisture.

4. Dry and verify

   IICRC S500 is the industry drying standard, and the crew follows its approach to setting up and checking equipment.

Both soak up moisture, so a leak often shows as a dark ring.

Pipes in cold attics and exterior walls freeze first. When the thaw comes, a split pipe can drop water through the ceiling below. Most homes near Shishmaref are lived in by their owners, so the person calling usually holds the homeowners policy and approves the work.
