What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Sublimity

Drywall can hold water behind intact paint. In Sublimity, controlled access and dehumidification help dry the affected structure.

A shower leak may appear downstairs only after the water runs for several minutes. Spray can pass a failed enclosure joint, while drain or supply water can enter the floor directly. Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.
