A shower leak may appear downstairs only after the water runs for several minutes. Spray can pass a failed enclosure joint, while drain or supply water can enter the floor directly. Tile and waterproof finishes can hide the wet backing, so a small ceiling mark may be only the visible edge of the problem.

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