How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Shungnak

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.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The extraction team lifts water from hard surfaces and wet coverings. Less liquid remains to evaporate into the Shungnak home.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Used shower water can change cleaning and removal decisions. A technician evaluates the actual condition rather than the fixture name.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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