How Upstairs Bathroom Ceiling Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Chambers

1. Remove standing water

   A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

2. Map moisture

   The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.

• Stop use of the upstairs fixture if safe.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
