Remove accessible water
Puddles near the vanity and tub are removed first. Waste-contaminated liquid calls for appropriate containment and protective methods.

-
Clean and open affected layers
Damaged cabinet bases or wall sections are assessed for retention. Drying access depends on the assembly and contamination.

Dry and verify progress
Humidity control removes water vapor as damp materials release it. The crew verifies the affected layers at the end.
