How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Union Star

Spores float in ordinary air, so mold only needs a damp spot to take hold. A wet ceiling is that spot, and the clock starts with the first drip.

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

   A wet-vac and extractor pull water out of the carpet and pad under the drip zone. Hard floors get the same treatment until no standing water is left.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   In Union Star, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. 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.
