1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   A pump clears deeper pooling before detail extraction begins. The Aitkin crew works from the visible spill toward floor edges.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   A shower pan leak often wets wood below the finish. The crew records the affected footprint before equipment is positioned.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   A wet wall cavity sometimes needs a controlled opening. The technician explains the affected layer before cutting.

   Air movers support evaporation while dehumidifiers collect vapor. Daily readings show the Aitkin crew whether materials are improving.
