How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Sims

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Sims assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

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.

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