How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Montezuma

1. Remove surface and pooled water

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

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