How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Mekoryuk

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The extraction team lifts water from hard surfaces and wet coverings. Less liquid remains to evaporate into the Mekoryuk home.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Mekoryuk technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Mekoryuk crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Mekoryuk crew whether materials are improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Dirty water calls for cleaning before ordinary drying proceeds. The crew assesses contamination and removes affected porous material that cannot be restored.

• Stop showering in the affected stall and keep the floor dry.
• Avoid stepping on loose tile or a soft shower curb.
• Keep people clear of a stained or sagging ceiling below.
• Photograph recurring damp spots and note when they appear.
• Leave concealed floor layers intact until their condition is assessed.
