1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas, and material readings confirm moisture. The technician records the findings before opening materials.

3. Open material that traps water

   Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.

   A technician checks moisture progress in drywall, wood and flooring. Equipment remains while those affected materials still need drying.
