How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Menlo

A bathroom fan moves room air but cannot establish the condition of wood beneath tile. Moisture readings show whether drying needs to continue.

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 Menlo technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
