Need some advise on what to do! While flushing the water system, the tub became plugged and overfilled, flooding the TT. The underbelly wrap was full of water (just on the left side, TT is angled to that side). Insulation under the floor is soaked. I know that I will need to pull all the insulation out and replace. Once that is done, how do I reseal or resew the underbelly wrap? What else will I need to do? I have fans running in the TT, there did not appear to be much water on the floor, just in the underbelly. Any and all advise welcome!
Thank you in advance!!!!!

You were using the flush system to clean the tub? Sorry but I guess you now know it's supposed to work in the black tank only. All I can suggest is dry everything you can see and blow fans everywhere you can't see. Good luck / Skip

If you have a dehumidifier get in there and get it running along with the fans, if you don’t find one or rent one.

I would punch a very small hole in the underliner to drain the water out then do as others suggested with the fans and dehumidifier to dry things out.

Also, go rent one of those floor fans. They are those ones that look like a conk shell and blow air on floors to dry them in commercial establishments. They push a LOT of air.

Unless this is black filthy water, I'd just let it dry out. I don't think you're going to get mold and mildew in the insulation from just a single short exposure to water. Dry it out, clean it up and forget about it.

I would agree with Larry. I'd probably just dry everything out and forget about it. But no guarantees with my cheap advice! LOL
