Extract water beneath the fixture
The response starts with source control and liquid removal. Air drying alone cannot efficiently handle pooled water under the bathroom.

Open material that traps water
A sealed ceiling can hold water against joists. The technician creates access where readings and material condition show it is needed.

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.
