What Upstairs Toilet Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Comptche
Drywall can hold water behind intact paint. In Comptche, controlled access and dehumidification help dry the affected structure.
A toilet can leak clean supply water, tank water or contaminated water from the bowl or drain. The path through the floor may look alike from downstairs, but the cleanup decisions differ. Water at the flange can also soak the subfloor before a lower ceiling begins to drip.
For a leaking tub supply, shut off water if safe and get plumbing work started. The Comptche drying crew addresses soaked drywall after the flow stops.
