1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A tub overflow may leave shallow water under the vanity. The operator uses suitable extraction tools and notes where the visible pool ends.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   A ceiling stain below an upstairs tub can cover more than one cavity. The crew measures surrounding gypsum and identifies safe access points.

3. Open layers holding water

   Once the affected layers reach the project target, the owner can move toward rebuilding. The source trade confirms the fixture fault has been corrected.
