How Toilet Overflow Cleanup Works in Westhoff

1. Assess the water and safe access

   The crew checks electrical exposure before entering the wet bathroom. Water category determines protective handling.

2. Remove pooled liquid

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

3. Map wet construction

   Meters compare the floor near the toilet with unaffected areas. The technician checks the subfloor and wall bases.

• Keep children and pets away from any water that may contain waste.
• Avoid electrical outlets or appliances in the wet area.
• Move dry belongings away from the spread without walking through sewage.
