How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Crum Lynne

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

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

3. Open material that traps water
