How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Oshkosh

Wet insulation behind a shower wall can hold moisture against framing. The crew evaluates removal and airflow to address the water rather than sealing the cavity again.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   The first pass clears standing water near the fixture. The technician then evaluates carpet, trim and other absorbent materials for retained liquid.

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

   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

   Vapor leaving wet materials is removed from the room air by dehumidification. The technician keeps measuring concealed trouble spots.
