How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Manitowoc

Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

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

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Manitowoc crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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