Wet drywall may wick upward after the bathroom floor looks dry. Monitoring reveals whether the affected wall is still changing.

1. Assess the water and safe access

   If a drain backup continues, plumbing must stop it. Cleanup planning can begin from a safe dry edge.

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Technicians lift standing water before placing drying equipment. Category 3 materials receive careful handling.

3. Map wet construction

   The crew checks underlayment after visible water is gone. Trapped moisture determines the drying plan.

4. Dry and record the result

   The technician checks moisture daily and adjusts equipment placement. Final measurements document the endpoint.
