A hidden recess may keep draining after the visible cabinet floor is wiped. The plumber also checks whether the fixture still leaks. The extraction specialist reaches remaining pooled water before drying begins.

Water follows seams and joists, sometimes leaving a stain away from the source. Moisture mapping defines the footprint.

Avoid the fixture and switch. The crew assesses the space only after electrical safety is addressed.
