How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Shiprock

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

   The adjacent room may show no puddle but still have a damp baseboard. Material readings reveal where drying should continue.

3. Open layers holding water

   A wet shower wall can contain insulation against framing. Opening the affected section makes moisture assessment and evaporation possible.

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.
