How Bathtub and Shower Leak Flood Water Removal Works in Suffield

   A crew starts with the visible pool, using equipment suited to its depth.

2. Map the moisture

   Hidden cavities are assessed where the water path suggests intrusion.

3. Open what holds water

   Soaked padding can block drying of the floor beneath it.

4. Dry and verify

   Daily checks show whether wet framing is moving toward its drying goal.

• Stop using the fixture and avoid a sagging ceiling.
• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
