How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Huntertown

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

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

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
