How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Portage

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Portage 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 Portage crew records each affected material.
