What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Guatay

How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Guatay

1. Remove water from the lower room

   After the fixture is stopped, a Guatay technician collects water from the affected room and assesses its source.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   A crew in Guatay records wet and dry reference points before equipment is placed.

3. Expose materials that hold water

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   A Guatay crew checks both levels before concluding that the bathroom leak area is dry.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A toilet overflow adds contamination concerns to the moisture problem. The Guatay crew removes affected porous material and sanitizes exposed surfaces after dirty water cleanup.

• Stop using the shower until its leak has been corrected.
• Keep people clear of any bowed ceiling or wet fixture downstairs.
• Do not pry off tile or cut into a wall near hidden utilities.
• Move portable items from a dry approach, away from fresh drips.
• Note whether staining follows shower use, drain flow or both.
