A shower or tub that leaks behind the tile soaks the wall and subfloor of a Boise bathroom out of sight. Crews find the hidden moisture and dry the structure to IICRC-standard before framing rots.
Technicians trace the moisture back to the failed grout, pan, valve, or drain and map how far the water has traveled into the wall and subfloor.
Crews open the wet wall or floor section as needed to reach the trapped water and remove tile or material that cannot be dried in place.
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the framing, subfloor, and cavity, with readings tracking each area to a documented dry standard.
Once dry, crews rebuild the affected area and coordinate the pan, valve, or waterproofing repair with a qualified contractor.
While help is on the way, these first steps, done only where it is safe, limit the damage and protect the insurance claim.
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.
Switch off electricity to the affected area, but only if the breaker can be reached without standing in or touching the water.
Get a crew dispatched right away. The sooner extraction and drying begin, the more flooring, drywall, and belongings can be saved.
Take photos and a short video of the water and the affected rooms before anything is moved, so the insurance claim starts strong.
Shower and tub leak cleanup in Boise generally runs $900 to $5,000, depending on how long the leak ran, how much wall and subfloor are soaked, and whether framing must be dried and rebuilt. A caught grout leak costs far less than a failed pan that rotted the subfloor. Crews document the source and readings so a covered loss is supported for the carrier.
Crews reach Boise and the surrounding valley fast, from the North End, the East End, and the Benches to Garden City, Southeast Boise, Meridian, Eagle, and Kuna. See the full list on the areas served across Boise page.

Technicians follow recognized IICRC drying standards and prove it with daily moisture readings on Boise homes, not guesswork.

The loss is documented and billed to the carrier directly.
Watch for loose or hollow-sounding tile, cracked or missing grout, a soft spot in the floor just outside the shower, a stain on the ceiling below an upstairs bath, and a musty smell. Because the water hides behind the tile, crews use moisture meters to confirm and map it.
Because it runs unseen for a long time into the wall framing and subfloor, materials that stay wet inside a closed cavity. That slow, constant moisture rots the wood and grows mold well before any visible sign appears, so the damage is often extensive by the time it is found.
Crews handle the water extraction, drying, and restoration of the damaged framing and finishes. The waterproofing repair, whether a new pan, liner, or re-tiling, is done by a qualified contractor, and crews coordinate so the structure is dried before the shower is rebuilt.
It varies. A sudden failure may be covered, while long-term seepage through worn grout or a slowly failing pan is often treated as maintenance. Crews document the source and moisture readings so the carrier can judge whether the loss was sudden.
Boise crews are on call 24 hours a day, local and fast, and can be on the way within the hour.
