-
Remove accessible water
The crew extracts standing water around the toilet and doorway. Less liquid remains to soak the subfloor while drying begins.

Measure concealed moisture
The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.
-
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 Winnetka drying setup is adjusted when a material remains wet. Completion is based on measured goals rather than appearance.
