How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Jerseyville

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Jerseyville crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify
