How Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Thor

Water from a bathroom can spread sideways across framing. Fast moisture mapping helps the crew find pockets that a bucket under the drip cannot address.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A technician checks the ceiling drip and the landing area, then extracts accessible liquid water. The room stays clear of sagging drywall.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   The crew checks floor finishes and wall corners as well as the overhead board. Bathroom water rarely follows a neat vertical path.

3. Open material that traps water

   Wet board that has lost strength cannot be treated like firm drywall. The technician removes it safely and records the work.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   A technician checks moisture progress in drywall, wood and flooring. Equipment remains while those affected materials still need drying.
