How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Clarence

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Clarence crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Clarence crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

• Turn off the bathtub faucet and keep the upstairs bathroom out of use.
• Keep everyone away from a bulging or cracking ceiling below.
• Do not touch dripping lights, fans, switches or wet cords.
• Call an electrician if electrical isolation cannot be done from a dry, safe place.
• Photograph both levels from safe positions without standing beneath damaged drywall.
