How Leak Behind Shower Wall Cleanup Works in Kanorado

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water that reaches insulation does not disappear when the lower ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity and removes soaked material where needed.

• 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.
