How Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Works in Big Pine Key

Repeated fixture use can keep feeding a hidden wet area. Stop using the shower, correct the source and dry the affected building layers promptly.

   A wet room below the bath may need protection while water is recovered upstairs. The crew considers both levels in the removal plan.
