How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Colfax

Water that reaches insulation does not disappear when the lower ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity and removes soaked material where needed.

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 meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Colfax technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Colfax team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
