1. Remove surface and pooled water

   Used shower water requires an assessment of what it touched. The team removes accessible liquid and plans cleaning according to the observed condition.

   A wet shower wall can contain insulation against framing. Opening the affected section makes moisture assessment and evaporation possible.
