A roof leak in Arlington can load a ceiling with water in one storm. Local moisture removal specialists serve Arlington and nearby Marysville, Lake Stevens and Mukilteo, with help available around the clock.
Ceiling Water Extraction and Restoration in Arlington
Wet Ceiling Drywall Removal
Drywall that is soft, sagging or soaked through is cut out to firm material, opening the cavity so the space above can dry.

Rain coming through the roof is caught and drained, and a tarp can be placed over the damaged area to stop more water getting in.

Drying the cavity quickly is the main way to limit microbial growth above a ceiling. Joists that stayed wet can be treated once dry.

Drying the cavity is what keeps stains and odors from returning once the ceiling is patched.

Readings are recorded at the start and during drying, giving you and your insurer a clear record.
