First, we detected the area of pipe breakage and searched for further moisture and possible mold growth around perimeter of ceiling and walls of affected area. Then we set up containment by placing 4 Mil poly surrounding the area of which we would be working directly in to prevent from damaging any other part of the house. Furthermore we placed Poly over the upper and lower cabinets to stop dust or damage entering in affected areas of the kitchen. Once containment was complete, our Certified Technician performed precision cuts around the affected area to remove the wet building material. Once done, we sprayed anti-microbial to prevent mold growth from forming in the area. After that we protected the ceiling and kitchen from further debris and dust by placing more poly on the open section of the ceiling. Also we placed drying equipment. In this case we placed a dehumidifier with poly tubing directly from the dehumidifier into the ceiling for direct heat drying, which is necessary to prevent any more damage to the home.
