Minor Water Damage?

whistlerboy
15 years ago

Well I overflowed a sink in the basement bathroom for about 15 minutes. The bathroom has a subfloor probably for easier plumbing. The water got into adjacent walls and into 1 bedroom under part of the laminate which I pulled up right away. The question I have is what is the best way to dry out the water in the walls? I'm thinking drilling holes at the bottom which the baseboards will cover and get a commercial fan and dehumidifier to ensure I dry it properly. One concern is the water which probably got below the subfloor in the bathroom. Hopefully the fan and dehumidifier will dry it all out. Any help would be appreciated.
