How Ceiling Leak From Bathroom Above Cleanup Works in Painted Post

1. Stop and assess

   The team records initial conditions in Painted Post, including the first stain and any bowed ceiling area.

2. Map the spread

   Meters compare the stain with nearby dry sections. The technician follows the higher readings along joists.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dry conditions are confirmed with measurements of the affected materials. A room that merely feels comfortable can still contain a damp joist bay, so the crew checks the cavity before finish work.

• Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
• Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
• Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
• Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
