How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Alto

Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A shower pan leak may leave wood or gypsum damp below a dry-looking tile surface, so the crew measures the concealed layers.

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

   A meter checks the subfloor and nearby wall against comparable dry material. The technician marks the wet boundary before setting equipment.

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

   Vapor leaving wet materials is removed from the room air by dehumidification. The technician keeps measuring concealed trouble spots.
