How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Landers

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Landers technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Landers crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Landers crew whether materials are improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

• Turn off the bathtub faucet and keep the upstairs bathroom out of use.
• Keep everyone away from a bulging or cracking ceiling below.
• Do not touch dripping lights, fans, switches or wet cords.
• Call an electrician if electrical isolation cannot be done from a dry, safe place.
• Photograph both levels from safe positions without standing beneath damaged drywall.
