How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Terra Ceia
-
Remove accessible bathroom water

-
Locate moisture beyond the puddle
The Terra Ceia assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.
-
Open trapped wet materials when needed
A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.
-
Dry, monitor and verify
Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Terra Ceia crew whether materials are improving.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
A lower ceiling can hold water above the first visible stain. Keeping people clear and inspecting promptly protects against collapse and further saturation.
- 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.
