How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Alton

Repeated fixture use can keep feeding a hidden wet area. Stop using the shower, correct the source and dry the affected building layers promptly.

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

   A meter checks the subfloor and nearby wall against comparable dry material. The technician marks the wet boundary before setting equipment.

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

   Once the affected layers reach the project target, the owner can move toward rebuilding. The source trade confirms the fixture fault has been corrected.
