Toilet Overflow Water Damage Questions in Sullivan
Why do Sullivan crews measure wall bases?
Water can wick into drywall from the floor. Readings show whether the wall needs drying or selective removal.

Sometimes. The decision depends on the assembly, contamination and measured moisture. The contractor explains any needed access.

No. Another flush can add water to a blocked bowl. Stop use and have a plumber clear the source.
