How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Carbon

1. Remove water from the lower room

   Vacuum extraction addresses the visible accumulation while a Carbon crew evaluates hidden ceiling moisture.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

3. Expose materials that hold water

   After mapping, the Carbon team creates airflow paths through wet enclosed spaces.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A shower leak may feed moisture slowly through floor seams. The Carbon technician checks the wider area and dries what can be saved after the leak stops.

• 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.
