How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in East Chicago

Humidity rises when an overflow remains inside closed rooms. Dehumidifiers support drying after liquid water is removed.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Extraction begins at accessible pools and continues along the flow path. Wet coverings are assessed for salvage.

3. Map wet construction

   The crew checks underlayment after visible water is gone. Trapped moisture determines the drying plan.

4. Dry and record the result

   Sewage affected surfaces receive sanitation after unsuitable materials are removed. Drying continues where materials can remain.
