Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Ray, MI

What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Ray

Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Ray crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.

A shower leak may appear downstairs only after the water runs for several minutes. Spray can pass a failed enclosure joint, while drain or supply water can enter the floor directly. Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.

The upstairs toilet or sink needs a plumber when its connection is leaking. A Ray water damage crew removes the water below and dries the ceiling cavity.

• 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.
