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

   The technician compares damp drywall with a dry reference section. This check helps define the drying area beneath the upstairs fixture.

3. Open material that traps water

   Contaminated toilet water can make porous materials unsuitable to keep. The crew removes affected material and sanitizes the exposed surfaces.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The crew logs equipment use and material readings for the claim record. Paint and board replacement follow the verified dry-out.
