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.
An upstairs fixture can be fixed while water remains trapped downstairs. The Bluejacket restoration crew checks beneath the bathroom and removes the remaining moisture.
