The two of us did not realize there was a immense leak in the ceiling until it was absolutely bad.
At that time the best thing that every one of us could do was take the whole ceiling apart as well as make sure that there was no mold as well as mildew, however mold as well as mildew can be 1 of the worst concerns that can happen… Once mold as well as mildew appears, it is absolutely strenuous to get rid of it. I contacted a company that handles lots of odd electrical as well as mechanical troubles. They handle plumbing, electrical, as well as Heating as well as A/C work. They got rid of the outdated plumbing fixtures as well as the wet pieces of ceiling. After that, they installed a dehumidifier in the attic. They also put a dehumidifier downstairs. The dehumidifier ran for 5 afternoons, then when the dehumidifier started running, there was 77% moisture in the attic as well as when it stopped running, the moisture levels were at 38%. The dehumidifier worked absolutely well. Our insurance covered the cost for the dehumidifiers as well as all of the work to update the ceiling as well as the attic. The insurance company was absolutely nice as well as helpful during the whole ordeal. The two of us were anxious that the insurance company might try to give us a strenuous time, however they were more than glad to help us make sure that the apartment was put back to the same condition that it was before the terrible ceiling leak. After all of the repairs are done as well as the ceiling I have been installed, every one of us are going to have brand new cabinets as well as furnishings. The insurance company paid for all of the things that were disfigured as well as even more.
