How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in New London

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

   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   After the source is corrected, controlled drying continues until building layers meet goals. A calendar alone does not end the work.
