How Bathroom Above Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Rew
-
Release the trapped water
Standing water on the floor below gets pumped or vacuumed. A wet vac or portable extractor reaches corners a large machine cannot.
-
Map the moisture
The crew looks at what sits above the ceiling too. An attic, a floor with a subfloor or a roof deck can each hold water that the room below never shows.
-
Open the wet layers
Board that is sagging, stained through or soaked with dirty water usually comes out. Sound board that read wet may stay and dry in place.
-
Dry and verify
Final readings are taken at the same spots as the first ones. The job ends when every material matches dry reference.

- Stop using the shower, tub and toilet upstairs
