Drywall paper and wood subfloor can hold water after the tile is wiped. Mold can start growing within 24 to 48 hours on wet materials, so extraction and drying should begin promptly.

Remove accessible water

-
Measure concealed moisture
The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.
-
Clean and open affected layers
The water category affects cleaning and material decisions. A sanitary supply spill is handled differently from a sewer backup.

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