How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Berrien Center

Cold, damp surfaces can hide moisture after a spill. The specialist confirms the reading with a meter rather than treating a dry appearance as proof.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Berrien Center technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

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.
