What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Eckerman
A bathroom fixture leak can follow seams in the upstairs floor. The Eckerman crew checks the ceiling below rather than relying on the stain alone.
A bathroom sink can send water beneath a fixed vanity without leaving much on the visible floor. The toe space and plumbing opening provide a route into the floor assembly. Downstairs, a stain may show up several joist bays from the cabinet.
An upstairs fixture can be fixed while water remains trapped downstairs. The Eckerman restoration crew checks beneath the bathroom and removes the remaining moisture.
