What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Old Station
Wet insulation often needs removal to expose joists. Bathroom Ceiling Water Pros documents the affected area and drying work in Old Station.
A bathroom sink can send water beneath a fixed vanity without leaving much on the visible floor. The toe space and plumbing opening provide a route into the floor assembly. Downstairs, a stain may show up several joist bays from the cabinet.
An overflowing tub may need the fixture checked after the water is shut off. In Old Station, extraction starts with the wet floor and continues beneath it.
