How Bathroom Ceiling Leak Cleanup Works in Moatsville

1. Remove water from the lower room

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   The water path through a Moatsville ceiling may end at a light opening far from the fixture.

3. Expose materials that hold water

   Wet insulation above the ceiling may be lifted out in Moatsville so the joist bay can dry.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   The Moatsville crew tracks readings until the affected framing supports the rebuild stage.
