1. Remove accessible bathroom water

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Eldridge technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Soaked insulation may block effective drying. The crew removes damaged material and creates access where the assembly requires it.

   Dry reference readings provide a target for affected wood and drywall. The crew documents progress before finish work begins.
