How Ceiling Water Removal Works in Nuiqsut

Warm rooms speed up growth on wet materials. In Nuiqsut, a closed-up room with a wet ceiling gets air movers and a dehumidifier from the first visit.

1. Drain the water above

   A pump and hose can carry drained water out of the room, so there are no buckets to haul through the house. The crew sends it to a proper drain.

2. Extract the floor and the cavity

   The extraction tech also checks baseboards, wall bottoms and lower cabinets for water that wicked down from the ceiling.

3. Open and remove what is soaked

   In Nuiqsut, older plaster ceilings call for a slower approach, since plaster is heavy and can fall in large pieces. The crew plans its cuts and supports before it opens one.

4. Dry and verify

   At each visit, the technician reads the same marked spots and logs the numbers. When they match a dry reference, the equipment goes.
