How Toilet Leak Into Basement Water Cleanup Works in Rochelle Park

1. Remove accessible water

3. Clean and open affected layers

   A wet ceiling cavity can need an opening once the area is safe. The technician checks insulation and drywall condition first.

4. Dry and verify progress

• Stop using the toilet above the affected basement area.
• Close the toilet shutoff valve if a supply leak is suspected.
• Keep away from wet basement lights, outlets and equipment.
• Move dry stored items away from dripping water if safe.
