How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Elcho

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

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Elcho 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

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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