How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Hammond

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

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.

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Hammond crew whether materials are improving.
