How Upstairs Sink Leak Ceiling Cleanup Works in Patterson

• Stop using the sink until the plumbing fault is fixed.
• Close an accessible shutoff valve only from a safe, dry position.
• Avoid wet outlets, plugged-in appliances and light fixtures below.
• Leave heavy vanity sections in place for the technician to assess.
• Photograph cabinet and ceiling damage without entering an unsafe area.
