   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

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.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Damaged cabinet bases or wall sections are assessed for retention. Drying access depends on the assembly and contamination.

4. Dry and verify progress
