How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in Lorton

Water at the toilet base can seep through floor openings. The crew follows that path before it reaches a lower ceiling.

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

   Pumps collect deeper water while floor tools recover shallow liquid. The crew keeps dirty water away from clean areas.

3. Map wet construction

   Flooring material changes how water moves. Instrument readings identify layers needing equipment.

4. Dry and record the result

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target salvageable wet structure. Follow-up readings show drying progress.
