There wasn't a lot of visible water damage, nothing that couldn't easily be fixed with new plaster (yeah, old house) and a paint job.
But then about 3 years later, my dad ripped out the floor in that washroom to put in ceramic tiles, only to discover that there was some mold. So he hired a contractor to remove and replace the sub-flooring, and underneath there was significant mold growth along the wooden beams, stretching out to the hallway. So everything had to be replaced.

Yes, the whole ceiling, part of the SE wall, and the flooring (that I put in) will be replaced because of the potential mold problem. Also that pipe needs to be relocated away from an outer wall, as well as insulated. This building was constructed back in the 70's so there's quite a few code deficiencies, but it's been "Grandfathered" in.
I won't be doing the repairs since we'll be claiming it on insurance. I'll be providing the BG music.
