What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Somerset

Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.

How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Somerset

1. Remove water from the lower room

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

• Keep people clear of any bowed ceiling or wet fixture downstairs.
• Do not pry off tile or cut into a wall near hidden utilities.
• Move portable items from a dry approach, away from fresh drips.
• Note whether staining follows shower use, drain flow or both.
