1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.
