How Toilet Overflow Water Damage Works in Northfork

Drywall paper and wood subfloor can hold water after the tile is wiped. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so extraction and drying should begin promptly.

1. Remove accessible water

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

   Trapped water under a floor may require selective access. The contractor explains why a covering or trim piece must come out.
