What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Sullivan

A bathroom sink can send water beneath a fixed vanity without leaving much on the visible floor. The toe space and plumbing opening provide a route into the floor assembly. Downstairs, a stain may show up several joist bays from the cabinet.

The upstairs toilet or sink needs a plumber when its connection is leaking. A Sullivan water damage crew removes the water below and dries the ceiling cavity.
