How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Primrose

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

   Moisture can follow framing away from a leaking pan. The assessor tests the route instead of assuming damage ends at the shower curb.

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

   A final moisture comparison helps determine when the structure is ready for finish planning. A calendar alone cannot prove dryness.
