1. 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.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas, and material readings confirm moisture. The technician records the findings before opening materials.

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 crew logs equipment use and material readings for the claim record. Paint and board replacement follow the verified dry-out.
