How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Dos Palos

Remove accessible bathroom water

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Shower leaks can keep drywall damp behind the finish. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so source correction and drying matter promptly.
- 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.
