What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Kevin
Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Kevin crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.
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 Kevin, extraction starts with the wet floor and continues beneath it.
