How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Pawlet

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

   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 Pawlet technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

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

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

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Original wallboard behind a remodeled shower can stay damp. The crew checks the actual assembly when the surface changes color.
