What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Soft ceiling board often cannot regain strength merely by running a fan. A crew removes compromised pieces and dries sound framing. Ceiling material that sags under stored water should be treated as a hazard. Safe access and extraction come before routine air movement in the room.
- 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.
