How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Flora

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

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Flora crew whether materials are improving.
