Get Quick Restoration for Ceiling Water Damage in Laconia

When you see a stain on your ceiling, you may think it is just a cosmetic issue, but it could be a sign of water damage. Other signs of damage include water dripping from the ceiling, buckling plaster, or sagging drywall. When a ceiling shows signs of water intrusion, you should check your plumbing system or the roofing system. Remember that much more water could be at play than you can see and you should, therefore, act quickly.

You need to determine what's causing the leak, fix it, and then mitigate the ceiling water damage in your Laconia residence. Water-damaged drywall can collapse while ceiling panels can fall. Accidents are a real possibility when repairing water-damaged ceilings. You may also not have the appropriate to fix the ceiling yourself. Therefore, contact SERVPRO franchise professionals to complete the restoration work. Some common causes of water intrusion in ceilings include:

• Old and damaged caulk
• A leaking toilet, bathtub or sink
• Frozen pipes
• Broken pipes
• Roof leaks
• Clogged gutters
• Leaking appliances

Our technicians can help you in locating the source of the leak by following it to the source. Water that flows through a ceiling, wall, and floor materials has also passed through a ceiling, wall, and floor assembly. Our crew can consider, inspect, and document all the materials that might be wet. Thinking and looking beyond finished building materials allows for a thorough inspection.

After identifying the damp areas, our crew can fix the leak and dry the ceiling thoroughly to eliminate moisture. Moisture detection equipment like moisture meters enables us to measure the moisture content inside the plaster or drywall ceilings. With the data from these devices, we can determine if the damage is superficial and relatively easy to fix or if the drywall or plaster ceiling is too saturated and requires replacement.

If necessary, our SERVPRO crew can open up the affected assemblies to dry the affected areas properly. If your home has ceiling tiles, removing and replacing them can be more cost-effective than drying. It is also advisable to replace the tiles if they are stained and bowed. After the drying process, our crew can paint the stained areas to match the rest of the ceiling, making the damage seem, “Like it never even happened.”
