The longer carpet padding holds toilet water, the farther moisture can travel. A technician checks both the covering and substrate.

Assess the water and safe access

Remove pooled liquid
Contaminated liquid is collected with appropriate protective methods. Remaining surfaces are prepared for cleaning.

Map wet construction
Flooring material changes how water moves. Instrument readings identify layers needing equipment.

Dry and record the result
Sewage affected surfaces receive sanitation after unsuitable materials are removed. Drying continues where materials can remain.
