How Bathtub and Shower Leak Water Cleanup Works in Toney

1. Remove standing water

   Pumps clear deep water in a Toney basement, followed by extractors for the thin layer left on floors.

2. Find absorbed moisture

   Wall bases get checked after extraction because drywall can wick water above the floor mark.

3. Remove what cannot stay

   Soaked carpet pad may be lifted so the floor beneath it can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   A clear drying log helps explain when the structure was ready for rebuild work.

• Stop using the tub or shower and close a leaking valve.
• Stay away from a ceiling that bulges under the bathroom.
• Move valuables away if safe.
• Photograph the source and damaged belongings.
• Avoid wet electrical fixtures and contaminated water.
