A master bathroom shower leak in a Fillmore home sent water through a closet and into the living room below.
The Restoration Work
Following Moisture Below the Shower
A musty smell in the primary closet and sagging drywall tape on the ceiling below prompted an inspection. The assessment found moisture in the closet subfloor and living-room ceiling framing. The loss was connected to a worn shower-pan liner allowing water to move beneath tile and through the floor assembly.
Opening the Affected Assemblies
Plastic barriers separated the work area. Extraction equipment removed accessible water, and affected carpet, underlayment, baseboards and ceiling drywall were removed where required. That access allowed the team to address moisture concealed between the two levels.
Dehumidifiers and air movers were positioned around the closet and living room, with cleaning and treatment of suitable exposed materials included. Moisture readings and reports documented the work for the homeowner and adjuster. The shower repair and the drying of the surrounding building materials were separate parts of resolving the loss.
