How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Nome

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

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

• Turn off the faucet and shut the bathroom door only if doing so is safe.
• Keep people away from wet outlets and dripping fixtures below.
• Move small dry items from the spill path without crossing slippery flooring.
• Photograph the tub, floor and any lower ceiling stain from safe positions.
• Leave swollen flooring and ceiling bulges undisturbed for the crew to assess.
