How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Dover
Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials. A shower pan leak may leave wood or gypsum damp below a dry-looking tile surface, so the crew measures the concealed layers.

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.
-
Map the hidden wet materials
Cabinet bases and floor edges can hold water after a spill. The crew records affected points for later comparison.

Open layers holding water

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.
