My toilet kept running and overflowed over the bowl. I cleaned everything up, everything appears to be dry, is there anything else I need to do?
It’s possible the baseboards, walls, or cabinets may have absorbed water. Moisture may be trapped behind the baseboards, behind your vanity or in other areas although your home may feel dry or appear to be dry. Building materials rapidly absorb moisture like a sponge and can hold moisture for days creating the potentially for mold. Each time your toilet overflows, or water spills out of your bathtub you give mold more time to grow. Quick action may prevent larger issues and more expensive problems and issues further down the road. Our moisture detection equipment can help determine if your walls have absorbed moisture and help decide if further action is needed.
