-
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.

Material readings show whether water crossed joists, reached insulation or continued down a wall. The stain alone cannot map the loss.

Open material that traps water
Soaked insulation and soft drywall may need removal to let wet framing dry. The crew photographs the condition before opening the cavity.
-
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.
