   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Thermal patterns may point toward a damp area, and a moisture meter confirms it. The technician documents materials needing attention.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.

   The technician adjusts airflow when one cavity dries slower than another. A record shows what was measured during the job.
