How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Fox River Grove

1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A tub overflow may leave shallow water under the vanity. The operator uses suitable extraction tools and notes where the visible pool ends.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Cabinet bases and floor edges can hold water after a spill. The crew records affected points for later comparison.

3. Open layers holding water

   A sealed tile assembly can trap water beneath it. The technician identifies the access required for drying, with finish work addressed later.

4. Dry and verify the structure
