How Bathtub and Shower Leak Flood Cleanup Works in Brighton

1. Remove standing water

3. Remove soaked material

   Carpet pad that cannot be dried safely may need to come out. Removal gives remaining wet layers a path to dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Final checks document the remaining structure after extraction. Records can explain the work to an insurer.

• Stop using the tub or shower.
• Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
• Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
• Photograph wet rooms and belongings.
