How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Annapolis

Porous trim can wick an overflow above the original puddle. The crew checks the full wet height and dries or removes material based on condition.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Annapolis crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   After the source is corrected, controlled drying continues until building layers meet goals. A calendar alone does not end the work.
