Remove surface and pooled water

Open layers holding water

Winter conditions do not change the need to distinguish used bath water from clean supply water. The technician evaluates what the water touched. Where owner occupancy is common, the resident often has direct access to the bathroom and room below. The crew can map both spaces with permission.
