How Upstairs Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Water Cleanup Works in Collinsville

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A thermal camera can point toward cooler damp areas, which technicians confirm with direct readings.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Laminate that has swollen at the seams often cannot be dried back to its former shape.

4. Dry and verify

   Technicians monitor humidity and material moisture, then record the results for the job file.

• Stop using the upstairs fixture and shut its valve where possible.
• Do not stand beneath a soft ceiling or touch wet switches.
• Move valuables away if safe.
