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.
A shower pan can send water through seams into framing. A plumber or fixture specialist handles the source; the Edmonton cleanup crew dries the affected structure.
