How Bathroom Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Palestine

Wet framing can continue feeding the room with moisture after a visible drip ends. In Palestine, daily readings show whether the structure is drying.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   Readings in Palestine show how far water moved along joists beyond the visible stain.

3. Expose materials that hold water

   Wet insulation above the ceiling may be lifted out in Palestine so the joist bay can dry.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   Dehumidifiers and air movers in Palestine address residual moisture after extraction.
