Toilet Overflow Water Damage

Common situations

A toilet overflow can create anything from a limited clean-water spill to a more serious contaminated-water cleanup depending on the source and what is in the water.

• Overflowed toilets
• Backed-up drains
• Water around flooring and baseboards
• Cleanup when contamination may be present

Why the source and affected materials matter

The right cleanup approach depends on where the water came from, how long it was present, how far it traveled, and which building materials were affected. Standing water may need to be removed first, while retained moisture in walls, flooring, framing, or other materials may require drying and monitoring.
