How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in New Berlin

A household fan may dry exposed tile while the subfloor stays damp. Material readings show whether professional access and drying are needed.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   The first pass clears standing water near the fixture. The technician then evaluates carpet, trim and other absorbent materials for retained liquid.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   A ceiling stain below an upstairs tub can cover more than one cavity. The crew measures surrounding gypsum and identifies safe access points.

3. Open layers holding water

   The ceiling below a bath may hold wet gypsum. The crew keeps people clear of unstable material and plans controlled removal where needed.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The crew monitors the opened floor or wall rather than closing it after the surface looks dry. Drying documentation stays with the job record.

• Write down when the first wet spot was discovered.
• Keep work authorizations with the claim file.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
