What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Tyler
Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Tyler crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.

Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.
