What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Rawlings

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water left beneath a bathroom increases exposure for floors and trim. Extraction in Rawlings is followed by structural drying, not just surface wiping.

• 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.
