Drywall paper and wood subfloor can hold water after the tile is wiped. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so extraction and drying should begin promptly.

1. Remove accessible water

   The crew extracts standing water around the toilet and doorway. Less liquid remains to soak the subfloor while drying begins.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   A moisture map in Vancleave can include the bathroom and ceiling below. The record helps define the drying area.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Trapped water under a floor may require selective access. The contractor explains why a covering or trim piece must come out.

4. Dry and verify progress

   The Vancleave drying setup is adjusted when a material remains wet. Completion is based on measured goals rather than appearance.
