How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Mart

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

   Tile can hide damp underlayment. The specialist tests accessible edges and traces any wet path into adjacent spaces.

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

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