What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Two Dot
Wet insulation often needs removal to expose joists. Bathroom Ceiling Water Pros documents the affected area and drying work in Two Dot.
A bath that overflows can send a large sheet of water across the upstairs floor. A drain or supply leak may instead wet the same ceiling a little at a time. Both paths can leave insulation and joists damp after the visible drip stops.
Water coming through a light fixture is an electrical hazard. Keep the room clear while the Two Dot crew evaluates safe access to wet materials.
