Hello all, I over-filled my 2nd floor tub today and it overflowed over the side and dripped down to the first floor bathroom. There was even a little leaking in the basement. The water was coming through the light fixture in the ceiling of the 1st floor bathroom, so I cut the circuit and unscrewed the fixture so it could drain and dry out.
My question is what to do from here. It's 90 degrees outside today, and will be hot all week, so I'm hoping the water will simply dry out. Still, this is an old house and I'm worried about water damage. How do I assess the damage, and what would be good next steps? Thanks so much for your help.
