How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Vesuvius

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

   Water crossing the bathroom threshold is extracted from the affected floor covering. The operator avoids treating a dry-looking tile area as proof of a dry subfloor.

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 wet shower wall can contain insulation against framing. Opening the affected section makes moisture assessment and evaporation possible.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   A final moisture comparison helps determine when the structure is ready for finish planning. A calendar alone cannot prove dryness.
