How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Augusta

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

   Used shower water requires an assessment of what it touched. The team removes accessible liquid and plans cleaning according to the observed condition.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   The adjacent room may show no puddle but still have a damp baseboard. Material readings reveal where drying should continue.

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 technician checks wood, drywall and room humidity as the job progresses. Equipment placement changes if a wet area lags.
