How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Ollie

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

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Ollie technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

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