Identify the Water Source

Before you can clean-up and restore water damage to your ceiling, you first need to find and stop the source of the leak.

What if you can’t find the exact source of your leak?  This is just one way that SERVPRO restoration professionals can help! Give us a call and we’ll find the source of your leak ASAP so you can get your house back to normal.

Stop the Leak

Once you’ve figured out the source of your leak, it’s time to stop the water flow and repair your ceiling. The method of stopping the leak depends on the source. 

Remove Damaged Ceiling Materials 

Proper drying is essential to fix ceiling water damage.  If water is left to stand for extended periods of time, it can lead to mold and mildew growth that can cause further damage and potential health risks.

Restoring ceiling water damage doesn’t have to be a painful process. Calling SERVPRO insures that this will be done correctly and professionally with minimal damage to the rest of your home or business.
