How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Comstock

Water from a bathroom can spread sideways across framing. Fast moisture mapping helps the crew find pockets that a bucket under the drip cannot address.

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

   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

   A sealed ceiling can hold water against joists. The technician creates access where readings and material condition show it is needed.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The last step is a moisture check, not a visual guess. The technician saves the readings before the ceiling is closed and finished.
