How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Franklin

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

   An extraction technician removes liquid from reachable bathroom flooring before it spreads through seams. The crew checks the adjacent room for a wet edge.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   A ceiling stain below an upstairs tub can cover more than one cavity. The crew measures surrounding gypsum and identifies safe access points.

3. Open layers holding water

   A wet shower wall can contain insulation against framing. Opening the affected section makes moisture assessment and evaporation possible.

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.
