How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Hazlehurst

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

   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

   The crew monitors the opened floor or wall rather than closing it after the surface looks dry. Drying documentation stays with the job record.
