Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Hanover, WI

What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Hanover

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

A shower leak may appear downstairs only after the water runs for several minutes. Spray can pass a failed enclosure joint, while drain or supply water can enter the floor directly. Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.

• 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.
