Ceiling insulation can retain moisture from an upstairs heating leak. Within 24 to 48 hours, mold can begin growing on damp material, so the cavity needs attention.

1. Remove the escaped heating water

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Southfield crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Southfield technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
