1. Remove accessible bathroom water

   Portable recovery tools reach a tight bathroom where larger hoses may be awkward. Technicians then check nearby rooms for spread.

   A meter checks subfloor and wallboard beside the fixture. The Stratford technician compares readings with dry material nearby.

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

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

4. Dry, monitor and verify

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