How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Saint Ann

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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

• Keep everyone away from a bulging or cracking ceiling below.
• Do not touch dripping lights, fans, switches or wet cords.
