How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Kohler

The painted surface may look dry while water sits above it. A technician checks the hidden assembly before deciding the dry-out is complete.

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

   Insulation often holds water long after dripping stops. The crew takes out saturated sections to expose framing for controlled drying.

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.
