How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Bayonne

1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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