How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Shelbyville

Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify
