How Upstairs Toilet Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Solon

1. Remove water from the lower room

• Close the toilet supply valve only if it can be reached safely from a dry floor.
• Keep children and pets away from any water that may contain waste.
• Stay out from under a sagging or dripping ceiling.
• Photograph visible damage without touching wet fixtures or outlets.
