How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Orrtanna

An overflowing tub can push water into baseboards and cabinet edges. Prompt extraction and dehumidification reduce the time those absorbent materials stay wet.

3. Open layers holding water

   The ceiling below a bath may hold wet gypsum. The crew keeps people clear of unstable material and plans controlled removal where needed.
