Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Fritch, TX

What Upstairs Tub Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Fritch

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

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.

For a leaking tub supply, shut off water if safe and get plumbing work started. The Fritch drying crew addresses soaked drywall after the flow stops.

• Leave wet light fixtures and switches alone; get electrical help when needed.
• Move small belongings only from dry, stable flooring.
