How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Mallie

Cold, damp surfaces can hide moisture after a spill. The specialist confirms the reading with a meter rather than treating a dry appearance as proof.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

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

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

   Used shower water can change cleaning and removal decisions. A technician evaluates the actual condition rather than the fixture name.

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.
