-
Remove the overflow
The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.
-
Measure hidden moisture
The technician checks flooring edges and lower walls with a moisture meter. Readings help reveal wet material beyond the visible puddle.

Handle affected materials
A technician evaluates whether trim, underlayment or insulation holds water. Necessary access helps the exposed structure dry.

Dry and verify
Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
