What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Omer
Wet insulation often needs removal to expose joists. Bathroom Ceiling Water Pros documents the affected area and drying work in Omer.
A bath that overflows can send a large sheet of water across the upstairs floor. A drain or supply leak may instead wet the same ceiling a little at a time. Both paths can leave insulation and joists damp after the visible drip stops.
An overflowing tub may need the fixture checked after the water is shut off. In Omer, extraction starts with the wet floor and continues beneath it.
