   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 assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

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