Signs to look for

When to call us for shower leak cleanup

If you notice any of these problems, call us before water has more time to spread into nearby materials.

A stain on the ceiling directly under the shower

As our response moves forward, escaped pan water follows the joist bay and drops at the first low point it finds, which is rarely under the drain itself.

The floor just outside the shower feels soft or springy

To control the loss, water that gets past the pan runs to the edge of the mortar bed and into the subfloor at the threshold.

Tiles in the shower floor sound hollow when tapped

To keep the work on track, run a knuckle across the shower floor and listen for the tone to change from solid to empty.

Grout in the corners and along the curb keeps cracking

For a decisive response, corners and the curb move slightly with the building, so rigid grout there cracks and reopens.

The ends of the curb are stained or the tile there is loose

For a decisive response, a shower curb is waterproofed over the top and down both faces, and its two ends are where that wrap is hardest to finish.

Water pools on the bathroom side of the curb after a shower

For a decisive response, a shower curb is built to shed water back inward, and a door sweep or threshold seal keeps the rest in.

What happens

How we handle shower leak cleanup

Our response team adjusts the work to where water traveled, how far the water traveled, and which materials can be saved.

Isolating the shower from every other water source in the room

For a decisive response, before we look at the pan we rule out the toilet, the sink and the supply lines feeding the shower.

A flood test of the shower pan

To keep the work on track, the drain is plugged and the pan is filled to just below the curb, then watched over a set period.

A spray test of the walls, curb and door

As our response moves forward, if the pan holds, water is directed at the curb, the corners, the door sweep and the valve trim in turn.

The drain assembly and weep holes checked

As our response moves forward, a traditional pan drains twice: once through the visible drain and once through weep holes at the base of the drain body.

Moisture mapping of the floor, walls and the room below

For a decisive response, a moisture meter reads the framing, subfloor, wall base and the ceiling underneath, and a thermal imaging camera shows the shape of the impacted space.

Tile sounded before anyone talks about removal

We tap the shower floor and the lower walls and mark what has debonded. Hollow sounding areas usually come off in the repair anyway.

What to expect

What to expect from our response team

Here is how we usually handle shower leak cleanup near California.

1
Report when the water shows up

To control the loss, on the call we ask one question first: does the water appear during a shower, or with nothing running.
Your call
2
Take that shower out of service

For a decisive response, stop using it and use another bathroom if you have one. Every additional shower adds water to a structure that is already wet.
+5 minutes
3
Make the room below safe to be in

To keep the work on track, if a ceiling is stained or bulging underneath, keep people out from under it and leave the area lit from a doorway.
+10 minutes
4
Diagnosis on site, starting with the pan

As our response moves forward, a crew arrives, meters the impacted space and sets up a flood test on the pan. While it sits, the walls, curb, door and valve trim are examined.
On arrival
5
Openings agreed, then made

We show you where access is needed and why, and we match your needs to the least visible wall wherever the drying allows it.
First hours on site
6
Equipment aimed into the assembly

To control the loss, air movers deliver air into the wall cavity and under the flooring rather than across the room. An Professional dehumidifier holds the humidity down in a small closed space.
Day 1
7
Daily readings at the threshold, the cavity and the ceiling

For a decisive response, the three places that stay wet longest are the subfloor at the shower threshold, the framing behind the surround, and the ceiling below.
Day 2 to 4

Understanding the cost

What can affect the price

We outline the restoration action plan and price before you approve the job. These examples show what may change the estimate.

Common situation	What the estimate may include	Typical range
Shower leak caught early, drying the floor and wall base only	As our response moves forward, national estimate for diagnosis, testing, drying equipment and monitoring where nothing needs removal.	$500 to $1,500
Wet wall cavity drying behind a tub or shower, one bathroom	To control the loss, national estimate for controlled openings, cavity drying and daily readings behind the surround.	$450 to $1,200
Shower leak that reached the subfloor and the ceiling below	To keep the work on track, national estimate covering both rooms, including ceiling material removal, drying and cleaning.	$2,500 to $8,000
Drying priced by affected area, clean water	As our response moves forward, national estimate used when the impacted space is measured rather than priced as a room.	$3 to $7 per square foot
Tile and mortar bed removal, per square foot	To keep the work on track, national estimate for removal and disposal of tile with a mortar setting bed. Thinset over backer board sits at the lower end.	$3.00 to $8.00
Shower pan flood test performed on its own	As our response moves forward, national estimate when the test is the only service requested. It is normally folded into a full diagnosis visit.	$150 to $400
Shower pan or membrane rebuild by a tile contractor	To keep the work on track, national estimate for the rebuild trade, not our work plan. Included so you can see the whole picture.	$1,000 to $4,000

How long the shower has been leaking
As our response moves forward, a few weeks means wet framing and a drying work plan. A few years means a saturated mortar bed, a spongy subfloor and probably a rebuild.
Whether the tile and mortar bed have to come off
To keep the work on track, drying can often be done through a small opening in an adjacent wall or from the ceiling below.
Which component actually failed
As our response moves forward, a door sweep or a caulk joint is a cheap fix once it is proven. A pan liner or a failed waterproofing membrane means the shower floor is rebuilt.
Access to the space under the bathroom
For a decisive response, a basement or crawl space under the shower lets us dry the subfloor and joist bay from below, which is faster and cheaper.
How much of the room below is involved
To control the loss, a single stain is a small work plan. A ceiling that took water across two joist bays brings insulation, light fixtures and paint into the job.
Equipment days in a small closed space
To control the loss, bathrooms dry well because they are small, but tile and mortar release moisture slowly.

Why timing matters

What can happen when the area stays wet

Water can keep moving into nearby materials even when the surface looks dry.

Every shower adds to the loss

As our response moves forward, unlike a burst pipe, this leak is switched on by the household. Two showers a day for a month is sixty separate wettings of the same framing.

The subfloor at the threshold loses strength

To control the loss, plywood that goes through repeated wet and dry cycles delaminates in layers.

The mortar bed stays saturated and stops holding tile

For a decisive response, a mortar bed sitting on a failed liner acts like a sponge that never gets to dry.

Mold can start within 24 to 48 hours inside the wall

To keep the work on track, a wall cavity behind a shower is warm, dark and repeatedly rewetted, which is a favorable set of conditions.

Helpful service information

What to know about shower leak cleanup

Act first by the short explanation. Open a card if you want a little more detail.

What is happening inside the property

As our response moves forward, at the bottom sits the preslope, a sloped bed that sends water toward the drain.

Read the explanation

To keep the work on track, a tile shower is a stack of layers, and knowing the stack explains every failure. At the bottom sits the preslope, a sloped bed that sends water toward the drain.

How the next step is decided

To control the loss, grout and tile are the wear surface, not the seal, and water passes through both slowly by design.

Read the explanation

For a decisive response, the grout myth costs homeowners more money than any other idea in bathroom repair. Grout and tile are the wear surface, not the seal, and water passes through both slowly by design.

What may change the work

For a decisive response, mortar and tile hold moisture and release it gradually, so the room air can read normal while the setting bed is still saturated.

Read the explanation

To control the loss, drying a shower leak is different from drying a burst pipe, because the wet material is enclosed and slow.

Common questions

Questions about shower leak cleanup

How do I know if my shower pan is leaking?

For a decisive response, timing is the first clue. If water appears during or shortly after a shower and nothing shows with the water off, the assembly is leaking rather than a pipe.

Is my grout supposed to be waterproof?

To control the loss, no, and this is the most common misunderstanding in shower repair. Grout is a filler between tiles and it is porous by design.

Can you fix a shower pan leak without removing the tile?

To control the loss, sometimes the leak is at the curb, the door sweep, the valve trim or a corner joint, and those are repaired without touching the floor.

What is a shower pan flood test?

For a decisive response, the drain is plugged, the pan is filled with water to just below the curb, and the level is marked and watched over a set period.

What are weep holes and why do they matter?

To control the loss, a traditional shower drain has small openings at its base that let water sitting on the pan liner escape into the drain.

There is a stain on the ceiling under my shower. How bad is it?

To control the loss, check whether it darkens after a shower and fades between them, which points at the shower rather than a pipe.

How long does it take to dry a shower leak?

As our response moves forward, three to five days is typical once the source is stopped and the equipment is in. Tile and mortar release moisture slowly, so the setting bed and the framing lag behind the room air.
