How Bathtub and Shower Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Wells

1. Remove standing water

   A crew clears accessible standing water and watches for continued inflow. Continued inflow needs source control before drying.

2. Map moisture

   The technician checks wall bases, floors, and likely hidden paths. Readings also help define the equipment layout.

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers dry materials that can stay in place. Humidity control supports evaporation from structural materials.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Water left in drywall can keep a wall cavity damp. Removing unsalvageable sections gives remaining framing a better path to dry. Air movement reaches exposed framing more effectively.

• Stop using the tub or shower.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
