How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Gorman

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 Gorman technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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

Cleanup Records for an Insurance Claim

A lower ceiling stain does not reveal exactly when the leak began. The homeowner notes discovery time, while the crew records measured moisture. The insurer evaluates the cause and coverage.

• Separate source work from rebuilding costs
• Photograph the wet bathroom before moving materials
• Keep lower ceiling photos with bathroom photos

Coverage depends on your policy, so check with your own insurer.
