How Upstairs Shower Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Works in Continental Divide

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

3. Open material that traps water

   Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The crew logs equipment use and material readings for the claim record. Paint and board replacement follow the verified dry-out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water from a bathroom can spread sideways across framing. Fast moisture mapping helps the crew find pockets that a bucket under the drip cannot address.

• Stop using the shower and tell other occupants which fixture is off limits.
• Stay out of rooms with sagging ceiling board.
• Do not touch a wet shower light, fan or downstairs fixture.
• Photograph tile edges and ceiling stains from stable, dry spots.
