1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The West Liberty crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

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

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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