How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in River Rouge

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

   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

   A sealed tile assembly can trap water beneath it. The technician identifies the access required for drying, with finish work addressed later.

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.
