1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The crew chooses recovery equipment based on water depth and access. It checks seams and trim after the floor looks clear.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Portland team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
