How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Sears

Dirty water calls for cleaning before ordinary drying proceeds. The crew assesses contamination and removes affected porous material that cannot be restored.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Sears crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Sears 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.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
