How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Union

Water that reaches insulation does not disappear when the lower ceiling stops dripping. A technician checks the cavity and removes soaked material where needed.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

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

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
