How Upstairs Sink Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Eastport

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings
