How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Marathon

A lower ceiling can hold water above the first visible stain. Keeping people clear and inspecting promptly protects against collapse and further saturation.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

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

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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