How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in West Lafayette

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

   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

   Thermal screening helps identify areas for closer testing. The technician confirms suspected wet spots with an appropriate moisture meter.

3. Open layers holding water

   Damaged drywall or insulation may need removal so airflow can reach framing. The contractor explains the access before opening the cavity.

4. Dry and verify the structure
