What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Yellow Jacket
Drywall can hold water behind intact paint. In Yellow Jacket, controlled access and dehumidification help dry the affected structure.
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.
Water coming through a light fixture is an electrical hazard. Keep the room clear while the Yellow Jacket crew evaluates safe access to wet materials.
