What Ceiling Flood Cleanup Includes in Bascom
Photographs and moisture readings record how far ceiling flood cleanup spread. Those records may help explain the loss to an insurer. An insurer decides coverage using the terms of the policy.
Water from an upstairs fixture, roof opening or attic line can pool above a ceiling. Water can move into drywall, plaster, insulation, fixtures and the floor below. Jobs involving water through ceiling, ceiling leak from bathroom above and sagging wet ceiling need a check beyond the visible puddle.
Stopping the source prevents more water from entering. The cleanup crew still needs to check how far the earlier flow traveled. Lower rooms may reveal a path from the original leak.

- A bulging ceiling or dripping light can fail or carry electrical danger.
- If the source is plumbing, shut off the supply valve when it is safe to reach.
- Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
- Move dry belongings out of the water path when safe.
- Photograph visible water and damaged belongings before moving them.
