How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Rice Lake

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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