How Leak Behind Shower Wall Cleanup Works in Mount Pleasant

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Delay gives bathwater more time to spread into adjoining rooms. Extraction and dehumidification address both pooled liquid and lingering vapor.

• Stop using the shower while the source is being assessed.
• Shut off the affected water supply if an active leak is present and the valve is safe to reach.
• Avoid touching damp switches or outlets on either side of the wall.
• Move dry belongings away from the adjoining wall where safe.
• Photograph staining and leave exploratory cutting to the crew.
