What Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Kiester

How Upstairs Shower Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Kiester

• 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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

Keep dates for when the drip began, when the fixture was shut off and when drying started. These facts help explain the loss. The insurer reviews them under the actual contract.

• Retain records of removed insulation
• Note whether the water contained toilet waste
• Keep the final drying report for the claim

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
