1. Remove surface and pooled water

   A tub overflow may leave shallow water under the vanity. The operator uses suitable extraction tools and notes where the visible pool ends.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

3. Open layers holding water

   Damaged drywall or insulation may need removal so airflow can reach framing. The contractor explains the access before opening the cavity.
