Stopping the source, extracting water from the floor and around fixtures, removing wet drywall or subfloor where needed and drying until readings are normal.

How quickly should bathroom flood cleanup start?

Right away. Bathroom water reaches the subfloor and the ceiling below within hours, and those materials take days to dry.

Shut off the water, keep people out after a toilet overflow, move rugs and towels and take photos.
