Humidity from a damp room can slow evaporation. Dehumidification and airflow are adjusted using measurements, especially where hidden materials stay wet.

1. Remove accessible water

   A lower room may collect water after an upstairs overflow. The extraction plan covers both levels when measurements show wetting.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.

   The technician compares wet points with appropriate dry references. Persistent readings prompt another look at concealed water.
