How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Felton

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A shower pan leak may leave wood or gypsum damp below a dry-looking tile surface, so the crew measures the concealed layers.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   Water crossing the bathroom threshold is extracted from the affected floor covering. The operator avoids treating a dry-looking tile area as proof of a dry subfloor.

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

   Swollen baseboard can hide a damp wall edge. Removing damaged trim can reveal the material that still needs drying.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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