What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Peever
A bathroom fixture leak can follow seams in the upstairs floor. The Peever 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.
An upstairs fixture can be fixed while water remains trapped downstairs. The Peever restoration crew checks beneath the bathroom and removes the remaining moisture.
