How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Badger

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

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

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

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The Badger assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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