Water from a bathroom can spread sideways across framing. Fast moisture mapping helps the crew find pockets that a bucket under the drip cannot address.
-
Extract water beneath the fixture

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.
-
Open material that traps water

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.
