2. Remove pooled liquid

   A hard floor can still hold water at seams. Recovery tools address the visible spill before hidden layers are checked.

   An upstairs bathroom may wet joists and ceiling board. Readings direct access to those concealed areas.

4. Dry and record the result

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target salvageable wet structure. Follow-up readings show drying progress.
