How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Rico

Cold, damp surfaces can hide moisture after a spill. The specialist confirms the reading with a meter rather than treating a dry appearance as proof.

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   At the Rico property, extraction starts with safely reachable water. Wet electrical equipment remains outside the work area until assessed.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

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

   Equipment stays positioned for the wet layers found, not just the visible bathroom floor. The specialist checks humidity and material moisture.
