How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Naubinway

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Naubinway crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Naubinway technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Naubinway crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Naubinway team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water that reaches insulation does not disappear when the lower ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity and removes soaked material where needed.

• 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.
