How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Elma

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.
