Luxury Home Master Bathroom Spa Tub Leak
Old Tappan, NJ • Completed May 2024
An Old Tappan luxury homeowner noticed water staining on the first-floor ceiling directly below their master bathroom spa tub. Investigation revealed that the tub's plumbing connections had developed a slow leak that had been dripping for weeks into the ceiling cavity below. By the time it was discovered, water had saturated insulation, damaged the ceiling drywall, and affected custom millwork in the first-floor study. Our team carefully assessed the damage using moisture meters and thermal imaging to map the full extent of water migration. We developed a surgical restoration plan that addressed the hidden damage while preserving the home's high-end finishes and minimizing disruption to the family.
