An overflowing toilet, bathtub, or sink can quickly spread water across floors and into walls, cabinets, flooring, and nearby rooms. Toilet overflows may also involve contaminated wastewater requiring proper cleanup.
What the Job Involves
The affected area is inspected for standing water, hidden moisture, and damaged materials. Water is extracted, contaminated areas are cleaned and disinfected when necessary, and salvageable materials are professionally dried.
Signs You Need It
- Standing water around fixtures
- Soaked carpet or flooring
- Swollen cabinets or baseboards
- Damp drywall
- Sewage odors after a toilet overflow
- Water spreading into nearby rooms
How the Work Goes
The overflow source is stopped first and the water type is assessed. Standing water is removed with extraction equipment, followed by moisture readings in floors, walls, and cabinets. Contaminated materials may require removal and disinfection, while air movers and dehumidifiers dry salvageable areas.
What Affects the Cost
Cost depends on the amount of water, affected rooms, type of water, flooring and drywall damage, cabinet condition, and how long the materials remained wet. Sewage contamination can require additional cleaning and material removal.
