2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Saint Stephens technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   The drying plan considers whether flooring can stay in place. Material condition and contamination determine removal needs.

   Equipment stays positioned for the wet layers found, not just the visible bathroom floor. The specialist checks humidity and material moisture.
