How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Rutherford

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Technicians lift standing water before placing drying equipment. Category 3 materials receive careful handling.

3. Map wet construction

   A stained ceiling may not show the full wet cavity. The specialist tests around the visible mark.

4. Dry and record the result
