How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Whiting

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Cabinet bases and floor edges can hold water after a spill. The crew records affected points for later comparison.

3. Open layers holding water

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