How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Harvey

Shower leaks can keep drywall damp behind the finish. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so source correction and drying matter promptly.

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

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

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.
