How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Childs

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

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

3. Open layers holding water

   Swollen baseboard can hide a damp wall edge. Removing damaged trim can reveal the material that still needs drying.

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.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Temperature swings may expose a weak supply connection. Source work and drying remain separate tasks when water reaches the wall.

• Store photos of any opened wet cavities.
• Describe uncertain leak timing as uncertain.
• Save the restoration crew’s moisture map.
