24-Hour Emergency Water Damage Restoration in Matthews, NC

If your ceiling is leaking, it may not have to be fully removed and replaced as interior ceilings are very able to dry out given the presence of uninsulated open ceiling cavity space behind it within the framing system. If you have an insulated ceiling leaking, such as a garage ceiling, it would need to be removed so we can access the wet insulation presumably inside the framing system because it will not dry out any other way. Insulation acts like a sponge to water and can harbor a lot of it inside wall or ceiling cavities. Overall, it depends on the volume of water involved in the damage and the location of the ceiling to decide if we need to remove it or salvage it.

Do not step in water that may be exposed to electrical sources nearby due to risk of being shocked. Turn off the source of water as soon as safe to do so to stop damage from getting worse. If you are having trouble stopping the source of water, call us right away and we can talk you through it while we’re on the way to your property to help mitigate further damage.
