What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A warm bathroom floor does not dry the cavity below it. The crew measures materials separately and tracks their response. The bathroom floor above and the room below may have separate wet spots. Monitoring both sides helps prevent an overlooked subfloor edge from feeding moisture back into the cavity.
- Stop using the upstairs fixture and close a safe shutoff if water is still flowing.
- Keep people clear of a sagging ceiling and any wet electrical fixture.
- Move dry belongings away from the drip without standing under damaged board.
- Take photos of the stain and wet contents before moving them when safe.
- Call a plumber for the source and call 24/7 for extraction and drying.
