How Toilet Overflow Water Damage Works in Oxford
Drywall paper and wood subfloor can hold water after the tile is wiped. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so extraction and drying should begin promptly.

-
Clean and open affected layers
Trapped water under a floor may require selective access. The contractor explains why a covering or trim piece must come out.
