1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   The extraction team lifts water from hard surfaces and wet coverings. Less liquid remains to evaporate into the Chama home.

2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

   Tile can hide damp underlayment. The specialist tests accessible edges and traces any wet path into adjacent spaces.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Water behind baseboards may call for trim removal to expose the damp edge. The Chama crew records each affected material.

4. Dry, monitor and verify

   The Chama team verifies the subfloor and lower ceiling before equipment removal. Rebuilding follows the completed dry-out.
