How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Algodones

1. Remove water from the lower room

   A Algodones crew extracts puddles and checks whether the upstairs floor holds water beneath its surface.

• Keep people clear of any bowed ceiling or wet fixture downstairs.
• Do not pry off tile or cut into a wall near hidden utilities.
• Move portable items from a dry approach, away from fresh drips.
