How Ceiling Flood Cleanup Works in Devine
-
Remove standing water

Map moisture
A damp ceiling may reveal water from a room above. Lower ceilings may carry water from upstairs.

-
Dry and verify

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.
- 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.
