1. Extract water beneath the fixture

   The crew removes standing water from the lower room before it reaches more flooring and trim. The plumber handles the upstairs source.

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

   Contaminated toilet water can make porous materials unsuitable to keep. The crew removes affected material and sanitizes the exposed surfaces.
