Water Flood

My son in law has a 2012 Flying Cloud 25fb. They we're camping this weekend and the toilet valve got stuck and filled up the tank and overflowed into the forward berth area. They were outside and noticed the water dripping down from under the trailer. They we able to shop vac up the water and blow out the joints around the perimeter. They have the vinyl flooring. I was curious how the sub-flooring is installed (OSB or Plywood) and if the subflooring is sealed with any type of sealer from the factory? Are they design it drain out around the perimeter if something like this happens? They're towing it back to phoenix so the 110+ heat should dry it out pretty quickly. Anything we should check or do? Fortunately the tank had just been flushed and was full of black water.
Thanks
Steve

AS did nothing to mitigate flooding in the bathroom/head. If he got the water cleaned up quickly, there should be little lasting damage. But that depends on whether he got all of the water cleaned up.

Definitely clean and sanitize. Regardless of flush, you’ll still have residual contamination.

I’d get air movers in there to keep airflow high as well and get into all the nooks and crannies. Can get the high flow fan from any hardware store for about $100.

Did they also look at the pedal and ensure it won’t get stuck again?
