How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Baxter

The first visible spot may appear late in the leak. Daily readings show whether the structure is actually drying after source control.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

3. Open material that traps water
