How Bathtub Overflow Cleanup Works in Reeds

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

   The Reeds assessment includes trim, cabinets and wall bases near the tub. Readings show where surface cleanup is insufficient.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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