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

Open layers holding water
Porous material affected by dirty water may not be suitable to keep. The restoration team documents its condition and handles it accordingly.

Shower Pan Leak Cleanup Questions in Lugoff
Can a Lugoff tub overflow affect the ceiling below?
Yes. Water can cross the floor assembly and wet gypsum or insulation. Keep clear of a sagging ceiling and have both levels assessed.
Can water reach a neighboring Lugoff room?
Yes. Water may follow seams beneath a threshold or along a shared wall. The crew checks the adjoining material for moisture.
Can mold start after a Lugoff shower leak?

Extraction removes accessible liquid. Drying and repeated readings address water held in wood, gypsum and other materials.
