How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Salem

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

   Used shower water requires an assessment of what it touched. The team removes accessible liquid and plans cleaning according to the observed condition.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

3. Open layers holding water

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support drying after extraction. Recorded material readings show whether the setup is working.
