Toilet Overflow Water Damage Solutions

A toilet overflow is more than an inconvenience — it poses health hazards to those who inhabit your home or are patrons of your business. If neglected, the water that has spilled out onto your bathroom floor can also cause severe water damage to your property, leading to expensive home repairs.

When a toilet malfunctions, various parts can be the culprit. The tank might overflow, the tube could malfunction, or the pipe might become clogged. Regardless of the source, the result is often the same: a flood of unsanitary water that can cause extensive damage to your property and pose serious health risks.

Dry Force specializes in water damage restoration, so, we understand the urgency and complexity of toilet overflow situations. Our professional cleanup services are designed to address not just the visible water, but also the hidden dangers that come with it. From potential structural damage to the risk of mold growth, toilet overflows require immediate, expert attention. That's why we're available 24/7, ready to respond to your emergency and restore your property to its pre-damage condition.

Immediate Actions to take for Toilet Overflows

Your overflowing toilet could have been caused by blockages, plumbing issues, or excessive use of paper products. Whatever the reason, Dry Force is here to help you take immediate action and minimize the potential for water damage. 

1. Shut Off The Water Valve

Find the water shut-off valve, typically located where the toilet meets the wall, and turn it clockwise to stop the water supply. Keep in mind, it is important to resist flushing your toilet repeatedly as it may result in more flood water.

2. Close the Flapper

Locate the flapper at the bottom of the tank — it's the rubber circle attached to the metal lever by a chain. Gently push it closed to prevent more water from entering the bowl.

3. Secure The Float

If water continues to rise, you can manually adjust the float inside the tank. This device, which may be cup-shaped or football-shaped, controls the water level. By securing it in a stationary position, you can prevent more water from filling the tank. These immediate steps can help contain the overflow while you await professional cleanup assistance.

Our Toilet Overflow Cleanup Process

Water damage can weaken wood; corrode metals; ruin walls, flooring, and carpet; promote mold growth; pose electrical and fire hazards; and secrete musty odors. Unsanitary toilet water may also create health risks and a potential for more significant damage. If you are experiencing an overflowing toilet or water damage, contact Dry Force immediately for our step-by-step toilet overflow cleanup process.

Water Damage Discovered

Once a toilet overflow is discovered, we’ll do everything we can to arrive at your property within the hour you contact us.

Assessment and Inspection

If you haven’t done so already, we’ll start by shutting off the source of the water to prevent further damage. Taking into account the IICRC’s three water classifications, we conduct a detailed inspection of the damage and develop a customized restoration plan tailored to safely yet effectively restore your property.

Equipment Setup

Once we have established the best approach, we’ll set up our equipment and start extracting water from your property. We use industrial-grade equipment — air movers, dehumidifiers, and HEPA air scrubbers — to dry out all contaminated areas and materials, protecting you from potential health hazards.

Drying and Sanitization

Next, we utilize sanitization and air filtration techniques to eliminate any lingering odors and germs, restoring your property to its vital, pre-loss condition.

Documentation

Throughout the project, we’ll provide you with transparent updates, substantiating all of our work with detailed documentation. With Dry Force on your side, the damage caused by your overflowing toilet will quickly be minimized and reversed. 

Water Categories and Health Risks from Toilet Overflows

The Institute of Inspection, Cleaning, and Restoration Certification (IICRC) classifies water based on its originating source, its range of contamination, and its quality based on contact with other materials. Using a 3-category scale, Dry Force uses this water classification scale to determine the best water damage mitigation and restoration methods when dealing with the aftermath of toilet overflow. The 3 categories of water damage are as follows:

Category One: Sanitary Water

Also known as “clean water,” the IICRC defines sanitary water as water originating from a sanitary water source. These sources include water supply lines, clean toilet bowls, and toilet tanks. Rainwater and melted snow are also classified as sanitary sources. This water classification doesn’t pose a substantial risk, but it can develop into contaminated water if it’s ignored for too long.

Category Two: Contaminated Water

Contaminated water has long been referred to as gray water. This classification of water damage contains a significant amount of contamination and has the potential to cause sickness when touched or consumed. Types of gray water sources include dirty toilet bowls, broken aquariums, and overflowing dishwashers and washing machines. Significantly contaminated water is dangerous. If contaminated water has spilled onto your carpet, our team of professionals will make sure to remove the padding and disinfect the materials.

Category Three: Black Water

Black water is extremely contaminated and harmful to human health. Category three water damage is grossly contaminated and contains dangerous, toxic pollutants that can cause significant health risks. In addition to a toilet overflow tube, black water can come from sources like seawater, waste line backflows, rising flood water, and raw sewage. It can also result from tropical storms and wind-driven rain. Grossly contaminated water may result in major health risks or even death.
