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.

The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.
-
Clean and open affected layers
Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

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