What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Eden
Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Eden crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.
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.
Water coming through a light fixture is an electrical hazard. Keep the room clear while the Eden crew evaluates safe access to wet materials.
