Remediating Water Damage from a Montville Bathroom Overflow

In the Before Photo of this Montville home, a toilet overflow extended into the living area, staining floorboards and impacting the surrounding walls. SERVPRO technicians were called upon to perform demolition that would enable safe sanitation of the affected space before new structural materials were implemented in the hall and living area. Professional demolition can prove crucial in reducing renovation needs and overall mitigation costs, all while saving homeowners time by using powerful, high-grade water extraction and drying equipment.

The After Photo shows the extent of the water damage underneath the floor, as the subfloor boards are heavily stained by moisture. The walls still need flood cuts at this point in the process to safely reinstall baseboards as well. SERVPRO techs can remove moisture from these spaces with high-powered air movers and dehumidifiers, which work together to mitigate water from structural materials and contents. Odor Control Technicians (OCTs) can also deploy wet foggers to eliminate water odors at the particle level.
