How Ceiling Water Extraction Works in Alta Mesa

Why Ceiling Water Extraction is Needed in Alta Mesa
Overflowing or Leaking Appliances
Washers, dishwashers and water heaters on upper floors can leak into the ceiling below.
Clogged or Damaged Gutters
Clogged gutters overflow at the roof edge and push water into soffits and ceilings.

Fire sprinkler pipes and heads in the ceiling can leak or break and soak the drywall.
Natural Flooding Events
Severe flooding can push water into multi-level homes and soak ceilings on lower floors.
Residential and Commercial Ceiling Water Extraction in Alta Mesa
Residential Ceiling Water Extraction
In homes, ceiling water usually comes from a roof leak, an attic AC unit or a bathroom above. The ceiling is drained, the cavity dried and the drywall repaired so the room looks normal again.

In commercial buildings, water above drop ceilings soaks tiles and spreads through the plenum. Wet tiles are removed and the space above is dried, with work planned around business hours.
