A bathroom leak, attic intrusion, or pipe break above can saturate a ceiling before water drips into the room. Ceiling board and insulation may hold a heavy volume directly overhead. Cases include water through ceiling, ceiling leak from bathroom above, and sagging wet ceiling.

Signs You Need Ceiling Flood Water Removal

How Ceiling Flood Water Removal Works in Rex

1. Remove the standing water

   Basement pump-out lowers the water so materials can be assessed.

2. Map the moisture

   Moisture readings establish where drying equipment must work.

3. Open what holds water

   Wet drywall sections may be removed to expose the cavity.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment placement changes when measurements reveal a stubborn area.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water from sewage or outdoors changes the handling of porous materials. Contaminated pieces often need removal before clean drying can proceed.

• Stay clear of a bulging ceiling and ceiling fixtures, and switch power off only from a dry safe location.
• Stop the water source from a safe dry location if possible.
• Keep children and pets away from any dirty or electrically unsafe water.
• Photograph the wet area and move small dry belongings out of its path.
• Call (888) 399-5795 for 24/7 flood water removal.
