1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   Water may collect in floor seams below the leak. The extraction team pulls it out and records which materials are affected.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

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

3. Open material that traps water

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   Structural drying continues until the measured area reaches its target compared with unaffected material. The team then records completion.
