How Upstairs Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Water Cleanup Works in Acme

1. Remove standing water

   Hard surfaces are vacuumed carefully so liquid does not keep migrating beneath baseboards.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Wood framing may need longer drying than nearby drywall; meters reveal the difference.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet carpet pad holds water against the floor. Removing saturated pad when needed helps the subfloor dry sooner.

• Stop using the upstairs fixture and shut its valve where possible.
• Do not stand beneath a soft ceiling or touch wet switches.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
