Do these now, while you call
- Turn off power to wet ceiling lights and fans at the breaker. Don't touch fixtures with water in them.
- Shut off the water: the main valve, or the supply to the toilet, tub or appliance upstairs.
- Catch the water and move belongings. Stay out from under a sagging ceiling.
- Take photos and video of the ceiling and the source upstairs. More on ceiling leaks.
What happens when you call
- Your call goes straight to an independent water damage company that serves your area.
- They ask what happened and when they can get there.
- You decide whether to hire them. There's no obligation.
Drying within 24 to 48 hours is what keeps mold from starting, so the sooner drying begins, the smaller the damage.
