How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Hanover

A stained ceiling below the tub signals retained moisture that can support mold growth. The restoration technician checks the cavity and starts drying once safe access is established.

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

   The adjacent room may show no puddle but still have a damp baseboard. Material readings reveal where drying should continue.

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 technician checks wood, drywall and room humidity as the job progresses. Equipment placement changes if a wet area lags.
