1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Standing water is removed after the source stops and hazards are checked. The technician notes any lower ceiling affected.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   The lower room may reveal water that passed through floor penetrations. Moisture mapping includes the ceiling and adjoining surfaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Lake Fork crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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