What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A ceiling can stop dripping while hidden insulation still holds water. The technician checks that layer rather than judging the stain alone. Insulation may touch the upper face of drywall and slow drying there. Removing material that cannot be dried in place creates an airflow path to the framing.
- 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.
