Water Woes: Primary Bathroom Leaks From Kitchen Ceiling

We’ve all had plumbing trouble, but have you ever had your primary bathroom leak down through your kitchen ceiling? Water damage can be a massive headache that leaves you scrambling. Unfortunately, drying the standing water won’t be enough.

It can pool behind ceilings, drywall, and insulation, potentially causing mold growth. Depending on the water, it can also carry contaminants, posing a health hazard. That’s why water damage often requires help from a professional restoration company.

Investigating a Primary Bathroom Leak

We recently answered a call from a young Powell couple about water leaking down from their kitchen ceiling. Our technicians were on the scene within the hour and began investigating the cause using advanced moisture meters and infrared cameras. We discovered multiple small leaks, each caused by their unique issue.

One of the leaks resulted from a water supply line leak, another due to drain pipes from the bathroom vanity, and a garden tub had also sprung a leak. Thankfully, our IICRC-certified team of experts is no stranger to multitasking, so we immediately started our work.

There were leaks coming in through multiple spots of the kitchen ceiling.

The Water Damage Restoration Kickoff

Our skilled technicians eliminated excess water by strategically placing water removal equipment throughout the affected areas. After we dried the spaces, we tore out water-logged building materials, such as insulation, drywall, baseboards, and molding.

The exposed structures, however, still required drying. We positioned our state-of-the-art equipment, like air movers and dehumidifiers, to do so. We monitored moisture levels daily until we ensured everything dried entirely. As a finishing touch, our team applied an anti-microbial solution on the dried surfaces to prevent any potential mold growth.

After passing a final inspection, our fantastic crew completed the work, leaving the homeowners with a restored, leak-free home. We can’t thank our team enough for all their hard work!
