How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Harvey

Wet drywall may wick upward after the bathroom floor looks dry. Monitoring reveals whether the affected wall is still changing.

1. Assess the water and safe access

   If a drain backup continues, plumbing must stop it. Cleanup planning can begin from a safe dry edge.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   The bathroom and adjacent room may need separate extraction passes. The crew tracks where moisture traveled.

3. Map wet construction

   Baseboards and doorway transitions can wick beyond the puddle. A moisture map records the boundaries.

4. Dry and record the result

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target salvageable wet structure. Follow-up readings show drying progress.
