How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Gentry

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 lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

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

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