What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Weyerhaeuser

If the fixture is still leaking, stop using it and call a plumber. A water damage technician in Weyerhaeuser handles the extraction and drying.

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 Weyerhaeuser water damage crew removes the water below and dries the ceiling cavity.
