How this works
In a triple-decker or any stacked building, kitchens and bathrooms sit directly above each other and water runs down along joists, pipes and balloon-framed walls. The check uses the floor the leak started on, the building type and how long the water ran to estimate how far down the stack it probably went.
It is a rough planning answer, not an inspection. Moisture mapping with thermal imaging and meters is how the real extent is found. If water is already through a ceiling, the ceiling leak water damage page explains what happens next, and appliance leak water damage covers washer and dishwasher leaks.
