Porous materials that cannot be properly cleaned or dried may need removal. The technician bases that decision on water condition and actual material damage.

1. Remove surface and pooled water

2. Map the hidden wet materials

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Once the affected layers reach the project target, the owner can move toward rebuilding. The source trade confirms the fixture fault has been corrected.
