How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Navajo

A stained ceiling below the tub signals retained moisture that can support mold growth. The restoration technician checks the cavity and starts drying once safe access is established.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   An extraction technician removes liquid from reachable bathroom flooring before it spreads through seams. The crew checks the adjacent room for a wet edge.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Thermal screening helps identify areas for closer testing. The technician confirms suspected wet spots with an appropriate moisture meter.

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.

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

The policyholder should report the loss directly to the insurer. A plumber or tile professional documents the failed source, while the restoration technician records moisture in the floor, wall or ceiling. Those records describe facts, not a coverage decision.

• Ask the insurer about evidence before disposal.
• Ask how the policy treats source work.
• Keep work authorizations with the claim file.

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
