1. Assess the water and safe access

   Bathroom water may hide at the wall base. Initial readings establish the likely spread.

2. Remove pooled liquid

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

3. Map wet construction

   The crew checks underlayment after visible water is gone. Trapped moisture determines the drying plan.

4. Dry and record the result

   The dry out is complete when material conditions support it. Rebuilding finishes is assessed afterward.
