A bathroom fixture leak can follow seams in the upstairs floor. The Mecca crew checks the ceiling below rather than relying on the stain alone.
A bathroom sink can send water beneath a fixed vanity without leaving much on the visible floor. The toe space and plumbing opening provide a route into the floor assembly. Downstairs, a stain may show up several joist bays from the cabinet.
