Fallen drywall, wet insulation and texture debris are bagged and removed, and the floor is cleaned before drying equipment goes in.
Ceiling Cavity Drying Services

Draining water from the ceiling, removing wet drywall and insulation, drying the cavity above and rebuilding the ceiling once readings are normal.
