How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Hays

Wet insulation behind a shower wall can hold moisture against framing. The crew evaluates removal and airflow to address the water rather than sealing the cavity again.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A wet room below the bath may need protection while water is recovered upstairs. The crew considers both levels in the removal plan.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Thermal screening helps identify areas for closer testing. The technician confirms suspected wet spots with an appropriate moisture meter.

3. Open layers holding water

   A sealed tile assembly can trap water beneath it. The technician identifies the access required for drying, with finish work addressed later.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew monitors the opened floor or wall rather than closing it after the surface looks dry. Drying documentation stays with the job record.
