How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Martelle

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

   At the Martelle property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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