How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Letts

A towel can clear tile while subfloor remains wet. Early extraction reduces the water load and gives structural drying a better start.

   The extraction team lifts water from hard surfaces and wet coverings. Less liquid remains to evaporate into the Letts home.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Letts crew whether materials are improving.
