Step 2: Inspection for Hidden Moisture
Thermal cameras and meters check under the tub, behind the vanity and in the ceiling below.
Step 3: Drying and Dehumidification Phase
Equipment runs continuously, and readings are logged each day until materials are dry.

Framing that stayed wet can be treated, and final readings confirm the bathroom is dry.
