Roof & Ceiling Drying

Drying roofs and ceilings is a crucial step in maintaining the structural integrity of a building after water damage. When a roof or ceiling gets wet, whether due to a leak, flood, or plumbing issue, the moisture can penetrate materials such as wood, drywall, and insulation, causing mould, mildew,  rot and other secondary damage if not properly addressed. The first step in drying is to identify and stop the source of the water intrusion, whether it's repairing the roof, fixing plumbing, or sealing leaks. Once the source is controlled, the drying process must begin as soon as possible.

To dry the roof or ceiling, we utilise industrial-grade equipment such as air movers, dehumidifiers, and heaters to promote evaporation and remove moisture from affected materials. Air movers help circulate air across the wet surfaces, speeding up the drying process, while dehumidifiers extract the moisture from the air, preventing it from settling back into the materials. For ceilings, this might involve removing parts of the drywall, insulation or ceiling tiles if they’ve absorbed significant water, allowing airflow behind them for a more thorough drying process.
