How Upstairs Sink Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Gratiot

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A technician checks the ceiling drip and the landing area, then extracts accessible liquid water. The room stays clear of sagging drywall.

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

   A technician checks moisture progress in drywall, wood and flooring. Equipment remains while those affected materials still need drying.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Wet paper-faced drywall provides a place for growth if moisture stays trapped. The crew removes saturated sections when drying in place is not suitable.

• Stop running the upstairs sink until the plumber fixes the leak.
• Close the fixture valve only from a dry, safe position.
• Keep stored cleaners away from children if the cabinet is wet.
• Avoid wet lights and bowed ceiling sections downstairs.
