What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Georgetown

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

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