   The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The crew removes material that cannot be restored after sewage exposure. Hard surfaces are sanitized before structural drying.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Daily moisture records track the subfloor and wall base. A repair contractor waits for the dry-out before closing finishes.
