How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Thompson

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

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

3. Open layers holding water

   Porous material affected by dirty water may not be suitable to keep. The restoration team documents its condition and handles it accordingly.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Vapor leaving wet materials is removed from the room air by dehumidification. The technician keeps measuring concealed trouble spots.
