Why a ceiling leak cannot wait

Water pools above drywall, adds weight, and spreads across joists before it shows

Trace the source

Unit above, plumbing stack, bathroom, or roof — we find it and help get it stopped.

Protect the room

Contents moved or covered, and a controlled drain if the ceiling is holding water.

Dry the cavity

Joists and insulation dried to verified readings, not just the visible stain.

Strata-ready file

Separate documentation per unit for owners, the strata, and insurers.

Ceiling leak repair in Greater Vancouver

In Vancouver condos, most ceiling leaks come from the unit above — an overflowing tub, a failed shower pan, or a burst line. In houses it is usually an upstairs bathroom or the roof during an atmospheric river.

If the ceiling is sagging or light fixtures are wet, stay out from under it and turn off power to that circuit. Put a bucket down, move what you can, and call us.

Shield works with strata managers and neighbours to get access to the source, and documents each affected unit so the claim is sorted out cleanly.
