How Toilet Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Warrenville

1. Remove accessible water

   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

   Surface appearance does not reveal a wet subfloor. Meter checks identify materials that need further access or drying.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Humidity control removes water vapor as damp materials release it. The crew verifies the affected layers at the end.

• Avoid touching wet lights, fans, switches or outlets.
• Do not puncture ceiling bubbles or pull down loose drywall.
• Take photographs from a safe doorway on both levels.
