How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Simpson

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Simpson crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

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

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.
