Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup in Summer Shade, KY

What Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Includes in Summer Shade

Water around an overhead light needs electrical caution. The Summer Shade crew assesses the area before opening wet ceiling material.

Water coming through a light fixture is an electrical hazard. Keep the room clear while the Summer Shade crew evaluates safe access to wet materials.

1. Remove water from the lower room

• Close an accessible shutoff valve only from a safe, dry position.
• Avoid wet outlets, plugged-in appliances and light fixtures below.
