How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Volcano

A household fan may dry exposed tile while the subfloor stays damp. Material readings show whether professional access and drying are needed.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A wet room below the bath may need protection while water is recovered upstairs. The crew considers both levels in the removal plan.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   The adjacent room may show no puddle but still have a damp baseboard. Material readings reveal where drying should continue.

3. Open layers holding water

   Porous material affected by dirty water may not be suitable to keep. The restoration team documents its condition and handles it accordingly.

4. Dry and verify the structure

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

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.

• Keep the plumber or tile professional’s source findings.
• Write down when the first wet spot was discovered.
• Ask how the policy treats source work.

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