2. Measure concealed moisture

   The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.
