How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Chatham

Water at the toilet base can seep through floor openings. The crew follows that path before it reaches a lower ceiling.

1. Assess the water and safe access

   The crew checks electrical exposure before entering the wet bathroom. Water category determines protective handling.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Pumps collect deeper water while floor tools recover shallow liquid. The crew keeps dirty water away from clean areas.

3. Map wet construction

   Baseboards and doorway transitions can wick beyond the puddle. A moisture map records the boundaries.

4. Dry and record the result

   The dry out is complete when material conditions support it. Rebuilding finishes is assessed afterward.
