-
Remove accessible water
Puddles near the vanity and tub are removed first. Waste-contaminated liquid calls for appropriate containment and protective methods.

Surface appearance does not reveal a wet subfloor. Meter checks identify materials that need further access or drying.
-
Clean and open affected layers
The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.

Dry and verify progress
Humidity control removes water vapor as damp materials release it. The crew verifies the affected layers at the end.
