More Than a Mop Job

A toilet overflow looks like a bathroom problem, but water quickly runs under the vinyl or tile, into the subfloor and through to the ceiling below. On a second floor or above a finished basement, that can mean wet drywall, insulation and light fixtures downstairs.

Toilet water is also not clean water. Even a clean-looking overflow can carry bacteria, and water from the bowl or a sewer backup needs proper cleaning and disinfection.

Select Restoration responds 24/7. We extract the water, check the floors and ceilings below with moisture meters, remove materials that cannot be cleaned, disinfect, dry and repair.

IICRC Certified Firm #70014686

We Follow the ANSI/IICRC S500 Water Damage Standard

ANSI/IICRC S500 is the standard for professional water damage restoration. It spells out how a water loss should be assessed, how water is extracted, how the structure is dried and how moisture is monitored until the job is truly done. Select Restoration is an IICRC Certified Firm, our technicians are IICRC certified, and we follow S500 on every toilet overflow cleanup job.

IICRC Certified Firm badge

Certified Firm #70014686
Category & class first
We identify the water category (1 clean, 2 gray, 3 black water like sewage or flood water) and the class of the loss. That decides what can be dried in place and what has to be removed.
Safety and contamination
Category 2 and 3 water gets the protective equipment, removal of contaminated porous materials and cleaning the standard calls for.
Extraction before drying
Removing as much water as possible first shortens drying time and saves more of your home.
A drying plan by the numbers
Dehumidifiers and air movers are sized to the space, and we track temperature and humidity to keep drying on pace.
Daily moisture monitoring
We measure the structure every day and compare it to dry, unaffected materials. Equipment stays until the drying goal is met.
Hidden moisture found
Moisture meters and thermal imaging find water behind walls, under floors and in ceilings, so nothing wet gets closed back up.
Mold prevention
Fast, verified drying is the best protection against mold. Where the standard calls for it, affected areas are cleaned and treated.
Documentation insurers recognize
Readings, photos and notes are logged in a way insurance carriers and adjusters recognize.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is toilet overflow water dangerous?

It can be. Water from the bowl or a sewer backup carries bacteria, so affected materials need cleaning and disinfection, and porous materials often need to be replaced.

Will my ceiling below be okay?

We check it with moisture meters. Wet drywall can sometimes be dried, but sagging or stained ceilings usually need to be replaced.

Does insurance cover toilet overflows?

Sudden overflows are often covered. Sewer backups may need a separate endorsement. Check your policy.

We answer 24/7 and are usually on site within 60 minutes in Macomb County.
