How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Lanett

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Lanett assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Used shower water can change cleaning and removal decisions. A technician evaluates the actual condition rather than the fixture name.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.
