How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Libby

1. Remove water from the lower room

   After the fixture is stopped, a Libby technician collects water from the affected room and assesses its source.

2. Trace moisture through the ceiling

   A Libby technician checks drywall, insulation and adjacent walls with moisture instruments.

3. Expose materials that hold water

   The technician in Libby keeps clear of wet electrical fixtures while planning any ceiling opening.

4. Dry and confirm the structure

   The Libby crew tracks readings until the affected framing supports the rebuild stage.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Insulation above a ceiling can stay damp after the upstairs floor is wiped. A Libby water damage technician checks and removes that moisture load.

• 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.
