How Toilet Overflow Water Damage Works in Garretson

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress

   The Garretson drying setup is adjusted when a material remains wet. Completion is based on measured goals rather than appearance.
