How Leak Behind Shower Wall Cleanup Works in Flomot

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

A bathroom fan moves room air but cannot establish the condition of wood beneath tile. Moisture readings show whether drying needs to continue.

• Stop using the shower while the source is being assessed.
• Shut off the affected water supply if an active leak is present and the valve is safe to reach.
• Avoid touching damp switches or outlets on either side of the wall.
• Move dry belongings away from the adjoining wall where safe.
• Photograph staining and leave exploratory cutting to the crew.
