How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Afton

Shower leaks can keep drywall damp behind the finish. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so source correction and drying matter promptly.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Afton technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed
