How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Dickson

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A wet room below the bath may need protection while water is recovered upstairs. The crew considers both levels in the removal plan.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   The adjacent room may show no puddle but still have a damp baseboard. Material readings reveal where drying should continue.

3. Open layers holding water

   Damaged drywall or insulation may need removal so airflow can reach framing. The contractor explains the access before opening the cavity.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew monitors the opened floor or wall rather than closing it after the surface looks dry. Drying documentation stays with the job record.

• Keep people and pets out of the room beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch a dripping light, switch or wet appliance.
• Avoid puncturing the ceiling or standing directly beneath it.
• Describe the affected upper and lower rooms from a safe location.
