How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Lake View

Trace moisture across the ceiling
Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

Open material that traps water
Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.

Dry the structure and verify readings
A technician checks moisture progress in drywall, wood and flooring. Equipment remains while those affected materials still need drying.
