How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Galena

The crew should document damp materials as cleanup begins. Those readings establish where equipment and follow-up checks belong.

1. Assess the water and safe access

   An upstairs spill gets assessed at the source and the lower room. The technician notes what the water touched.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Pumps collect deeper water while floor tools recover shallow liquid. The crew keeps dirty water away from clean areas.

3. Map wet construction

   Flooring material changes how water moves. Instrument readings identify layers needing equipment.

4. Dry and record the result

   Sewage affected surfaces receive sanitation after unsuitable materials are removed. Drying continues where materials can remain.
