2. Remove pooled liquid

   Contaminated liquid is collected with appropriate protective methods. Remaining surfaces are prepared for cleaning.

3. Map wet construction

   Meters compare the floor near the toilet with unaffected areas. The technician checks the subfloor and wall bases.

   The dry out is complete when material conditions support it. Rebuilding finishes is assessed afterward.
