How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Onslow

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

   The first pass clears standing water near the fixture. The technician then evaluates carpet, trim and other absorbent materials for retained liquid.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Moisture can follow framing away from a leaking pan. The assessor tests the route instead of assuming damage ends at the shower curb.

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

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