Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Gray, LA

What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Gray

Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Gray 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.
