   The technician takes readings at the toilet base, threshold and nearby wall bottoms. Those points show how far the spill moved.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The crew removes material that cannot be restored after sewage exposure. Hard surfaces are sanitized before structural drying.

4. Dry and verify progress
