How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Colonia

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

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.
