Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Vass, NC

What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Vass

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

• Stop using the shower until its leak has been corrected.
• 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.
