An overflow stopped at the valve can still leave moisture in wall bases. Repeat readings reveal whether the drying setup is lowering that load.

1. Remove accessible water

   Portable extraction reaches narrow bathroom spaces in Riverdale. The technician also checks whether water crossed into adjoining rooms.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   Cabinet backs and toe kicks can hold moisture out of sight. A targeted assessment reaches those likely pockets.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress

   The technician compares wet points with appropriate dry references. Persistent readings prompt another look at concealed water.
