   The crew extracts standing water around the toilet and doorway. Less liquid remains to soak the subfloor while drying begins.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.

   Equipment stays positioned for the material load. The final check documents when structural drying goals are met.
