How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Presto

A dehumidifier helps only when wet materials have a path to release moisture. The technician assesses access, airflow and the water load.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   The technician compares damp drywall with a dry reference section. This check helps define the drying area beneath the upstairs fixture.

3. Open material that traps water

   A sealed ceiling can hold water against joists. The technician creates access where readings and material condition show it is needed.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The last step is a moisture check, not a visual guess. The technician saves the readings before the ceiling is closed and finished.
