How Leak Behind Shower Wall Cleanup Works in Fitzgerald

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

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

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Fitzgerald assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Fitzgerald team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

• 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.
