Bathroom Leak Into Ceiling Cleanup Questions in Preston
What if a Preston ceiling is bulging under a bathroom?

Water can run along framing and exit at a seam or fixture opening. The cleanup crew maps the full path rather than relying on drip location.
What happens after the Preston ceiling dries?
The final readings support a repair scope for drywall, paint and any affected flooring. Source repair upstairs is handled by the appropriate trade.
Can a Preston shower leak stain the room below?
Yes. Water can pass a failed pan or seam and travel along framing. The source trade fixes the shower; the crew dries the lower cavity.
Can a small Preston ceiling mark hide wet insulation?
