-
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.
-
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.
-
Open material that traps water
A small access opening may reveal a larger wet bay. The restoration team follows moisture readings rather than cutting only at the stain.
-
Dry the structure and verify readings
A technician checks moisture progress in drywall, wood and flooring. Equipment remains while those affected materials still need drying.
