1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
