How Toilet Overflow Into Ceiling Below Cleanup Works in New Castle

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew checks floor edges before setting equipment. Water beneath trim needs attention even after the tile looks clear.

   Equipment stays positioned for the material load. The final check documents when structural drying goals are met.
