Ceiling Collapse After Loft Pipe Leak: Full Water Damage Restoration and Drying Process
When a feed pipe burst in the loft of this property, it caused extensive water damage throughout the home — resulting in collapsed ceilings across three rooms.
By the time our team at Evolve Restoration Ltd arrived, large sections of plasterboard were saturated and unsafe, and the property required a complete drying programme before reinstatement could begin.
Step 1: Emergency Assessment & Safety
Our first priority was to assess the structural safety of the affected ceilings and isolate any potential hazards. Once confirmed safe to enter, we carefully removed the damaged ceiling materials to expose the wet loft timbers and insulation.
Step 2: Targeted Drying
Using our industrial dehumidifiers and air movers, we implemented a controlled drying setup to remove moisture trapped within the ceiling voids and wall structures. Moisture readings were taken daily to monitor progress and ensure the property reached safe levels before any new plastering began.
Step 3: Reinstatement
After the drying process was completed and verified with digital readings, our skilled plasterers replaced all affected ceilings and made good any damaged wall areas. The result: a clean, smooth finish ready for decoration.
Step 4: Decoration & Final Touches
With the hard work done behind the scenes, our decorating team stepped in to bring the property back to life. Fresh paint throughout has completely transformed the space — making it look even better than before the leak occurred.
