How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Cranfills Gap

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   Used shower water requires an assessment of what it touched. The team removes accessible liquid and plans cleaning according to the observed condition.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   A meter checks the subfloor and nearby wall against comparable dry material. The technician marks the wet boundary before setting equipment.

3. Open layers holding water

   A sealed tile assembly can trap water beneath it. The technician identifies the access required for drying, with finish work addressed later.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final moisture comparison helps determine when the structure is ready for finish planning. A calendar alone cannot prove dryness.

• Keep people and pets out of the room beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Do not touch a dripping light, switch or wet appliance.
• Avoid puncturing the ceiling or standing directly beneath it.
