How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Dorsey

Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Dorsey 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.
