What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Harvey

A bathroom fixture leak can follow seams in the upstairs floor. The Harvey crew checks the ceiling below rather than relying on the stain alone.

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.

If a shower drain fails, plumbing work stops the source. The cleanup technician in Harvey measures moisture along the joists and surrounding drywall.
