3. Clean and open affected layers

   Damaged cabinet bases or wall sections are assessed for retention. Drying access depends on the assembly and contamination.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Air movers and dehumidifiers support evaporation after extraction. The specialist checks readings to see whether moisture is falling.

• Stop using the toilet above the affected basement area.
• Close the toilet shutoff valve if a supply leak is suspected.
• Keep away from wet basement lights, outlets and equipment.
• Move dry stored items away from dripping water if safe.
• Photograph both rooms and note when the drip first appeared.
