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

How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Eldon

1. Remove water from the lower room

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

• 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.

• Photograph flooring around the leaking fixture
