How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Alma

A bathroom fan moves room air but cannot establish the condition of wood beneath tile. Moisture readings show whether drying needs to continue.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Alma assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Alma crew records each affected material.

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.
