How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Rhodes

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 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 Rhodes crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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