How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Irene

4. Dry and confirm the structure

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dry paint can conceal damp insulation behind it. Prompt access and dehumidification shorten the time those porous materials stay wet in Irene.

• 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.
