How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Decatur

Repeated fixture use can keep feeding a hidden wet area. Stop using the shower, correct the source and dry the affected building layers promptly.

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

   A ceiling stain below an upstairs tub can cover more than one cavity. The crew measures surrounding gypsum and identifies safe access points.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support drying after extraction. Recorded material readings show whether the setup is working.
