2. Locate moisture beyond the puddle

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

3. Open trapped wet materials when needed

   Unsound ceiling drywall beneath a tub can require removal. People stay clear until the area is assessed for safety.
