Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Points, WV

What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Points

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

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.

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

• Leave wet light fixtures and switches alone; get electrical help when needed.
