1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The response starts with source control and liquid removal. Air drying alone cannot efficiently handle pooled water under the bathroom.

2. Trace moisture across the ceiling

   A moisture meter finds wet pockets around a ceiling seam and nearby trim. The crew follows that measured path into the lower room.

3. Open material that traps water

   A sealed ceiling can hold water against joists. The technician creates access where readings and material condition show it is needed.

4. Dry the structure and verify readings

   The crew logs equipment use and material readings for the claim record. Paint and board replacement follow the verified dry-out.
