How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Ashton

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

   An extraction technician removes liquid from reachable bathroom flooring before it spreads through seams. The crew checks the adjacent room for a wet edge.

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

   Damaged drywall or insulation may need removal so airflow can reach framing. The contractor explains the access before opening the cavity.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final moisture comparison helps determine when the structure is ready for finish planning. A calendar alone cannot prove dryness.
