How Bathtub and Shower Leak Flood Cleanup Works in New Albany

1. Remove standing water

   After safety hazards are addressed, extraction reduces water sitting indoors. The remaining wet layers are assessed afterward.

2. Map moisture

   The crew measures porous materials before deciding what can remain. The water category affects material decisions.

3. Remove soaked material

   Damaged drywall sections can be taken out to expose wet framing. The opening is documented for later rebuilding.

4. Dry and verify

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

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives

Standing water is the visible part of a flood loss. The crew also checks hidden materials that could remain moist after pumping. Pumping alone does not dry a wall cavity.

• 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.
• Call Flood Cleanup Response Team at (888) 471-9821, 24/7, and describe the shower leak water.
