How it's done

The Orlando Shower and Tub Leak Process

1

Locate the Leak Path

Crews inspect grout, caulk, the shower pan, and surrounding walls to trace exactly where water is entering and where it has traveled.

2

Extraction and Moisture Mapping

A moisture meter maps the slab, subfloor, and wall cavity to define the full extent of the damage before any demolition.

3

Selective Removal and Drying

Saturated drywall or flooring is removed as needed and industrial dryers target the wall cavity and slab until readings are normal.

4

Repair and Reseal

Crews coordinate tile, grout, or pan repair and rebuild affected drywall and flooring once the area is confirmed dry.

What you get

What You Get When You Call

  • A technician on site in about an hour to trace the leak source before opening any walls
  • Moisture mapping of the slab, adjoining rooms, and wall cavities, not just the bathroom
  • Photo documentation and a written scope your insurance adjuster can use
  • Selective demolition that limits repair costs by opening only what needs to open
  • Coordination with a tile or plumbing contractor for the permanent pan or grout fix

What to do right now

While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.

1

Stop the water

Shut the supply off at the source, or close the home's main valve if the source is not obvious. Stopping the flow limits the damage more than anything else.

2

Cut the power

Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.

3

Call for help

Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.

4

Document the loss

Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.

Cost

What does shower tub leak cost in Orlando?

Gradual leaks from worn grout are often excluded by insurance, while sudden pan failures are more likely covered. Crews document the failure point to help clarify which applies.

Good questions

Shower Tub Leak, answered

Signs include a musty smell near the bathroom, soft or discolored flooring in an adjoining room or closet, or a ceiling stain below the bathroom in a two-story home. A moisture meter can confirm the source before any demolition.

Recaulking stops future water entry but does not address moisture that has already soaked into the slab, subfloor, or wall cavity. If a musty smell or soft flooring is present, that trapped moisture needs to be found and dried first.

Crews try to limit demolition to only the area showing moisture, guided by a meter rather than guesswork. Many leaks are contained to one wall section rather than the whole bathroom.

It depends on the cause. A pan that suddenly cracks is more likely covered, while damage from years of worn grout that went unaddressed is often considered a maintenance issue and excluded. Crews document what crews find to support your claim.

Drying typically takes three to five days, followed by a few more days for tile, drywall, or flooring repair depending on scope. Most jobs are fully finished within one to two weeks.
