How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Stonington

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Used shower water can change cleaning and removal decisions. A technician evaluates the actual condition rather than the fixture name.

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