How Toilet Overflow Water Damage Works in Lawrenceville

An upstairs spill may wet ceiling paper and insulation. The technician checks the lower cavity because mold may begin growing on damp material in 24 to 48 hours.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The crew removes material that cannot be restored after sewage exposure. Hard surfaces are sanitized before structural drying.
