How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Slayton

Delay gives bathwater more time to spread into adjoining rooms. Extraction and dehumidification address both pooled liquid and lingering vapor.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.
