How Toilet Leak Into Basement Water Cleanup Works in Palmyra

   The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Trapped water under a floor may require selective access. The contractor explains why a covering or trim piece must come out.
