What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Repeated bathroom use can feed the same wet cavity. Stop the source before drying equipment begins its work. Repeat use of the leaking fixture can undo drying progress. Keeping that bathroom source off until plumbing work is complete protects the lower room.
- Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
- Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
- Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
- Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
