How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Story

The bathroom and adjacent room may dry at different rates. A restoration crew tracks both to avoid leaving a wet pocket behind a finish.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   Water crossing the bathroom threshold is extracted from the affected floor covering. The operator avoids treating a dry-looking tile area as proof of a dry subfloor.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Thermal screening helps identify areas for closer testing. The technician confirms suspected wet spots with an appropriate moisture meter.

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

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support drying after extraction. Recorded material readings show whether the setup is working.
