Bathroom Ceiling Leak Cleanup Questions in Palmetto
Why open wet ceiling drywall in Palmetto?

Should the upstairs fixture stay off in Palmetto?
Yes. Keep it unused until a plumber fixes the source. Continuing to use it can add water to the ceiling cavity.
Do Palmetto homes need a plumber and cleanup crew?

Can a tub overflow reach another room in Palmetto?
Water can follow floor seams and joists before emerging downstairs. Moisture mapping covers more than the obvious stain.
