Wet paper-faced drywall provides a place for growth if moisture stays trapped. The crew removes saturated sections when drying in place is not suitable.

1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Water from a sink can follow a pipe opening before it appears below. Mapping identifies the affected cavity beyond the visible drip.

3. Open material that traps water

   Contaminated toilet water can make porous materials unsuitable to keep. The crew removes affected material and sanitizes the exposed surfaces.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The drying team adjusts equipment when a cavity stays wetter than nearby materials. Final readings support the handoff to repair work.
