How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Ames

Softened wallboard may lose strength after repeated wetting. The technician assesses material condition before it is covered by new paint.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Ames 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 Ames crew records each affected material.
