How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Hadar

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   At the Hadar property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.

• 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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan
