How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Cape Girardeau

-
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.

Dry and verify
A thermal camera spots cool, damp areas that a surface meter misses. The crew uses it to confirm that nothing hides behind the finish.

The typical home in the ZIP codes around Cape Girardeau was built in the 1970s. Flat and low-slope roofs were popular in some designs from these years. Ponding water on them can find a small hole and leak into the room beneath.
