What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Sutton

Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.

For a leaking tub supply, shut off water if safe and get plumbing work started. The Sutton drying crew addresses soaked drywall after the flow stops.
