How Overflowing Toilet Cleanup Works in East Millinocket

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

   The crew checks electrical exposure before entering the wet bathroom. Water category determines protective handling.

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

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

4. Dry and record the result

   A wet lower ceiling may require separate air movement. The crew tracks it apart from the bathroom floor.
