A tub, toilet, sink, or shower leak above sends water into the floor assembly. Water follows joists and may appear at a light fixture far from the source. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because ceiling drywall, joist insulation, floor underlayment, and paint hold hidden moisture.

The source and the damage may need different workers. For an overflowing fixture, plumbing work prevents more water; technicians then dry the subfloor and adjacent rooms.
