How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Frost

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

   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

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

3. Open layers holding water

   The ceiling below a bath may hold wet gypsum. The crew keeps people clear of unstable material and plans controlled removal where needed.

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.
