How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Clayhole

A stain can be painted over quickly, but trapped moisture remains. The drying team verifies material readings before finish repairs begin.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The technician documents visible wet areas, then removes free water. A safe room setup keeps people away from softened ceiling board.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas, and material readings confirm moisture. The technician records the findings before opening materials.

3. Open material that traps water

   Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.
