How Upstairs Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Water Cleanup Works in South Sutton

1. Remove standing water

2. Find absorbed moisture

   A room by room moisture map helps place drying gear where it will matter.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Opening a trapped assembly gives air a path to the wet material inside.
