Emergency Ceiling Water Extraction

Emergency extraction protects the room below: furniture is moved or covered, buckets catch the water and the floor is extracted.

Ceiling Cavity Drying Services

Wet insulation above the ceiling is removed so the joists and back of the drywall can dry.

Ceiling Mold Remediation

If mold has started on ceiling drywall after a leak, the affected drywall is removed in a contained area and the joists are cleaned once dry.

New drywall is screwed to dry joists, taped and finished in several coats so the repair sits flush with the old ceiling.

When to Schedule Ceiling Water Damage Repair in Franklin
