How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Sanborn

Porous materials that cannot be properly cleaned or dried may need removal. The technician bases that decision on water condition and actual material damage.

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

   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 sealed tile assembly can trap water beneath it. The technician identifies the access required for drying, with finish work addressed later.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support drying after extraction. Recorded material readings show whether the setup is working.
