Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Ada, MN

What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Ada

Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Ada crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.

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 Ada drying crew addresses soaked drywall after the flow stops.
