How Upstairs Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Water Cleanup Works in Miley

1. Remove standing water

   Cabinet cavities and subfloors receive attention where a small leak may have spread sideways.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Swollen drywall that has lost strength may need a controlled cut to expose framing.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily readings show whether equipment placement should change as the loss dries.

• Do not stand beneath a soft ceiling or touch wet switches.
• Move valuables away if safe.
