How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Alger

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The extraction team lifts water from hard surfaces and wet coverings. Less liquid remains to evaporate into the Alger home.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Alger crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Alger team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Cold, damp surfaces can hide moisture after a spill. The specialist confirms the reading with a meter rather than treating a dry appearance as proof.

• Stop showering in the affected stall and keep the floor dry.
• Avoid stepping on loose tile or a soft shower curb.
• Keep people clear of a stained or sagging ceiling below.
• Photograph recurring damp spots and note when they appear.
• Leave concealed floor layers intact until their condition is assessed.
