How Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Waco

1. Remove water from the lower room

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   Moisture checks in Waco can reveal soaked materials behind intact ceiling paint.

3. Expose materials that hold water

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• Stop using the sink until the plumbing fault is fixed.
• Close an accessible shutoff valve only from a safe, dry position.
• Avoid wet outlets, plugged-in appliances and light fixtures below.
• Leave heavy vanity sections in place for the technician to assess.
• Photograph cabinet and ceiling damage without entering an unsafe area.
