1. Remove accessible water

   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   Surface appearance does not reveal a wet subfloor. Meter checks identify materials that need further access or drying.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   A wet ceiling cavity can need an opening once the area is safe. The technician checks insulation and drywall condition first.
