How it's done

toilet overflow in Redwood City, step by step

1

Dispatch and Shutoff

A crew from Redwood City is dispatched 24/7, typically arriving within the hour. Their first action is to ensure the toilet's shutoff valve is closed, stopping the flow before any water extraction begins.

2

Assess Contamination

Technicians determine if the water is clean or contains waste. This assessment is critical, as contaminated water requires the removal of affected flooring and baseboards, while clean water may allow for salvage through cleaning.

3

Extract and Dry

Standing water is extracted from the bathroom and any hallways it reached. Contaminated materials are removed, the area is sanitized with antimicrobial cleaner, and industrial dehumidifiers run until moisture readings meet the IICRC dry standard.
