How Toilet Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in Washington

1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure concealed moisture

   The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

• Keep everyone out of the room beneath a bulging ceiling.
• Avoid touching wet lights, fans, switches or outlets.
• Do not puncture ceiling bubbles or pull down loose drywall.
