1. Remove surface and pooled water

   Used shower water requires an assessment of what it touched. The team removes accessible liquid and plans cleaning according to the observed condition.

2. Map the hidden wet materials

   A meter checks the subfloor and nearby wall against comparable dry material. The technician marks the wet boundary before setting equipment.

3. Open layers holding water

   Swollen baseboard can hide a damp wall edge. Removing damaged trim can reveal the material that still needs drying.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Once the affected layers reach the project target, the owner can move toward rebuilding. The source trade confirms the fixture fault has been corrected.
