How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Sandwich

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Sandwich crew records each affected material.
