2. Remove pooled liquid

   The bathroom and adjacent room may need separate extraction passes. The crew tracks where moisture traveled.

3. Map wet construction

   Meters compare the floor near the toilet with unaffected areas. The technician checks the subfloor and wall bases.

4. Dry and record the result

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target salvageable wet structure. Follow-up readings show drying progress.
