An upstairs overflow, broken supply or drain problem in a rental building can soak unit ceilings, shared walls, carpet and hallway flooring. Surface mopping leaves water inside these materials. A plumber or the appropriate trade fixes the source; a cleanup crew dries the damage. Call Water Cleanup Team USA at (888) 578-6508.

- Photograph unit ceilings before moving affected items.
- Keep children and pets away from standing or dirty water.
- Move dry valuables out of the path without walking through water.
