How Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Poplar

1. Remove water from the lower room

   A Poplar crew extracts puddles and checks whether the upstairs floor holds water beneath its surface.

• Stop using the sink until the plumbing fault is fixed.
• Close an accessible shutoff valve only from a safe, dry position.
• Avoid wet outlets, plugged-in appliances and light fixtures below.
• Leave heavy vanity sections in place for the technician to assess.
• Photograph cabinet and ceiling damage without entering an unsafe area.
