How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Albany

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Albany crew records each affected material.

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Albany crew whether materials are improving.
