A drain connection can leak below the tub during use. Once a plumber secures it, extraction equipment removes reachable water from the lower area.

How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Kuttawa

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Kuttawa technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

• 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.
