Does the crew stop the leak, or does a plumber?

A plumber fixes pipes, a roofer fixes the roof and an HVAC technician fixes a drain pan. The water damage crew removes the water and dries what the leak soaked. Call for the crew while the other trade does its part.

Is ceiling leak emergency help covered by insurance in Shock?
