   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Tile can hide damp underlayment. The specialist tests accessible edges and traces any wet path into adjacent spaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.
