How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Caledonia

1. Remove water from the lower room

   A Caledonia crew extracts puddles and checks whether the upstairs floor holds water beneath its surface.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A shower leak may feed moisture slowly through floor seams. The Caledonia technician checks the wider area and dries what can be saved after the leak stops.

• Stop using the shower until its leak has been corrected.
• Keep people clear of any bowed ceiling or wet fixture downstairs.
• Do not pry off tile or cut into a wall near hidden utilities.
• Move portable items from a dry approach, away from fresh drips.
• Note whether staining follows shower use, drain flow or both.
