1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   A tub or shower spill can run across the lower floor. The crew extracts that water before mapping hidden overhead moisture.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   Material readings show whether water crossed joists, reached insulation or continued down a wall. The stain alone cannot map the loss.

3. Open material that traps water

   Wet board that has lost strength cannot be treated like firm drywall. The technician removes it safely and records the work.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   Structural drying continues until the measured area reaches its target compared with unaffected material. The team then records completion.
