What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Eden
Wet insulation often needs removal to expose joists. Bathroom Ceiling Water Pros documents the affected area and drying work in Eden.
A bath that overflows can send a large sheet of water across the upstairs floor. A drain or supply leak may instead wet the same ceiling a little at a time. Both paths can leave insulation and joists damp after the visible drip stops.
Calling for water removal matters even when the upstairs drip has ended. A Eden technician can find damp insulation that the ceiling stain does not reveal.
