What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Harborside

Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Harborside crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.

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