How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Tingley

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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