An overflowing tub or failed shower drain lets water escape the fixture. Water can travel behind the surround and across joist bays to a lower ceiling. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because wall board, subfloor, tile backing, and ceiling drywall hold hidden moisture.
Water beneath a floor does not disappear when a pipe is fixed. Restoration specialists measure its spread and open trapped areas where needed.
