A toilet can leak clean supply water, tank water or contaminated water from the bowl or drain. The path through the floor may look alike from downstairs, but the cleanup decisions differ. Water at the flange can also soak the subfloor before a lower ceiling begins to drip.
A shower pan can send water through seams into framing. A plumber or fixture specialist handles the source; the Hot Sulphur Springs cleanup crew dries the affected structure.
