1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The response starts with source control and liquid removal. Air drying alone cannot efficiently handle pooled water under the bathroom.

   The crew checks floor finishes and wall corners as well as the overhead board. Bathroom water rarely follows a neat vertical path.

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