How to dry a suspended ceiling after flooding

Unfortunately, many residents of apartment buildings are familiar with the problem of flooding by the neighbors from the upper floors. Especially often it occurs in old houses, where the state of heat and water supply communications leaves much to be desired. Before the heating season, when the heating networks are tested, the teams of emergency services are knocked down, especially in the area of old buildings. Even with the smallest, most minor flooding first of all the ceiling suffers. When installing a stretch ceiling, many Torontonians are concerned about the condition of this modern construction and how it will respond to flooding.

The procedure in case of flooding must be strictly followed, so that the ceiling canvass remains undamaged. After the flooding, it is better to call the company that installed the stretch ceiling. Our specialists sometimes have to go out on a customer's call and eliminate the consequences of the flood. They know how to do it, and they can do the job in the best way. But if there is no such a possibility, or the trouble happened late at night or on the eve of the holiday, then it will be necessary to remove the flooding by yourself.

1. Before you drain the water, it is necessary to turn off the power supply to the lights and alarms, with both phases.
2. After you must remove all things that can be affected by the wet, and cover the furniture with plastic wrap. After all, you have no experience, and you do not know how it will go down the drain.
3. You should have a two-meter-long hose and containers for water.
4. Then you must carefully remove the light fixture from the ceiling surface, and in the hole to stick the hose and in small portions, slowly drain the water from the suspended ceiling.
5. When there is not much liquid left, you can lift the canvas very carefully and drain it.
6. If there is no electric light on the ceiling, in one of the corners of the tensioned canvas it is necessary to remove the foil. And in this hole insert a hose to drain the water. Fabric fabric canvass partially dismantled, unfortunately, will not work.

Our experts give some very useful tips. First of all, do not make an additional hole in the film for the drainage of water, the canvas will immediately burst and all the water will flood the neighbors from below. So stick to this technology of drainage. Over the entire surface of the stretch ceiling, you do not need to disperse the waves, so as not to form a few water bubbles, which will have to be dealt with individually. If there is a hot technical water breakthrough from the heating system or sewer drains, it will likely be necessary to completely remove the canvas.
