How Toilet Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in North Platte

1. Remove accessible water

   The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress
