How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Kasota
-
Remove accessible bathroom water

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.
- Turn off the faucet and shut the bathroom door only if doing so is safe.
- Keep people away from wet outlets and dripping fixtures below.
- Move small dry items from the spill path without crossing slippery flooring.
- Photograph the tub, floor and any lower ceiling stain from safe positions.
- Leave swollen flooring and ceiling bulges undisturbed for the crew to assess.
