How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Phyllis

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.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Phyllis 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

   The Phyllis team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
