What Bathtub and Shower Leak Water Cleanup Includes in Chunchula

An overflowing tub or failed shower drain lets water escape the fixture. Water can travel behind the surround and across joist bays to a lower ceiling. The visible puddle may show only part of the wet area because wall board, subfloor, tile backing, and ceiling drywall hold hidden moisture.

A blocked drain may need a plumbing contractor. Sewage cleanup also needs protective handling, removal of contaminated porous materials and surface cleaning.
