How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Empire

A ceiling cavity beneath the toilet can hold water without active dripping. The lower room needs moisture checks too.

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

   Contaminated liquid is collected with appropriate protective methods. Remaining surfaces are prepared for cleaning.

3. Map wet construction

   Baseboards and doorway transitions can wick beyond the puddle. A moisture map records the boundaries.

4. Dry and record the result

   A wet lower ceiling may require separate air movement. The crew tracks it apart from the bathroom floor.
