How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in New Brunswick

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

   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 ceiling stain below an upstairs tub can cover more than one cavity. The crew measures surrounding gypsum and identifies safe access points.

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.

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