How Toilet Overflow Water Damage Works in Duke Center

An upstairs spill may wet ceiling paper and insulation. The technician checks the lower cavity because mold may begin growing on damp material in 24 to 48 hours.

1. Remove accessible water

   Puddles near the vanity and tub are removed first. Waste-contaminated liquid calls for appropriate containment and protective methods.

2. Measure concealed moisture
