How Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Eldridge

1. Remove water from the lower room

• 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.
