How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Cle Elum

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

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

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Cle Elum technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water that reaches insulation does not disappear when the lower ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity and removes soaked material where needed.

• 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.
