How Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Baker

1. Remove water from the lower room

   A Baker crew extracts puddles and checks whether the upstairs floor holds water beneath its surface.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   Mapping in Baker helps determine whether the upstairs floor also needs drying access.

3. Expose materials that hold water

   Controlled access in Baker opens the cavity only where measurements and conditions support it.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   Equipment placement changes in Baker as wet areas shrink during drying.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet framing can continue feeding the room with moisture after a visible drip ends. In Baker, daily readings show whether the structure is drying.

• Stop using the tub and keep others out of the room beneath the leak.
• Use a dry, accessible shutoff if water is still flowing from a supply connection.
• Leave wet light fixtures and switches alone; get electrical help when needed.
• Move small belongings only from dry, stable flooring.
• Photograph the stain and puddles from a safe position.
