1. Remove accessible water

   Visible liquid is lifted from reachable surfaces. The drying specialist then handles moisture absorbed into building materials.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.
