How Leak Behind Shower Wall Cleanup Works in Coolin

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Coolin crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Coolin technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Coolin crew records each affected material.

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

A towel can clear tile while subfloor remains wet. Early extraction reduces the water load and gives structural drying a better start.

• 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.
