How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Deforest

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Deforest technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   After the source is corrected, controlled drying continues until building layers meet goals. A calendar alone does not end the work.
