How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Angora

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

   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 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

   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

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

• Retain dated readings from the drying period.
• Keep the final drying readings.

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