A tile professional handles a leaking shower pan. Water damage technicians assess damp subfloor and framing so a corrected pan does not cover wet wood.

How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Alice

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

   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

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Shower leaks can keep drywall damp behind the finish. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so source correction and drying matter promptly.

• Turn off the faucet and shut the bathroom door only if doing so is safe.
• Keep people away from wet outlets and dripping fixtures below.
• Move small dry items from the spill path without crossing slippery flooring.
• Photograph the tub, floor and any lower ceiling stain from safe positions.
• Leave swollen flooring and ceiling bulges undisturbed for the crew to assess.
