How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in San Pierre

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   At the San Pierre property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

• Stop showering in the affected stall and keep the floor dry.
• Avoid stepping on loose tile or a soft shower curb.
• Keep people clear of a stained or sagging ceiling below.
• Photograph recurring damp spots and note when they appear.
• Leave concealed floor layers intact until their condition is assessed.
