How Tub Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Thermopolis

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Thermopolis assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Thermopolis crew whether materials are improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

• Turn off the bathtub faucet and keep the upstairs bathroom out of use.
• Keep everyone away from a bulging or cracking ceiling below.
• Do not touch dripping lights, fans, switches or wet cords.
• Call an electrician if electrical isolation cannot be done from a dry, safe place.
• Photograph both levels from safe positions without standing beneath damaged drywall.
