How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Orcas

A bathroom tile surface may dry while underlayment stays wet. Moisture readings identify layers that need equipment.

1. Assess the water and safe access

   Bathroom water may hide at the wall base. Initial readings establish the likely spread.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Pumps collect deeper water while floor tools recover shallow liquid. The crew keeps dirty water away from clean areas.

3. Map wet construction

   The crew checks underlayment after visible water is gone. Trapped moisture determines the drying plan.

4. Dry and record the result

   A wet lower ceiling may require separate air movement. The crew tracks it apart from the bathroom floor.
