1. Remove the overflow

   The response team clears standing water around the drain and adjoining floor. Safe photographs show where the overflow had reached.

2. Measure hidden moisture

   Pinless readings can screen broad areas without opening every finish. The technician follows suspicious spots with closer material checks.

4. Dry and verify
