2. Map contamination and moisture

   The crew traces the overflow path from the fixture into adjoining materials.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Contaminated carpet padding or insulation often comes out before the structure is dried.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Equipment placement changes when moisture progress slows or hidden layers need access.
