Remove accessible water
The first pass reduces contact between water and finishes. A deeper moisture check follows extraction.
-
Measure hidden dampness
A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

Address soaked layers
The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.
-
Track drying results
The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
