-
Remove soaked material
The crew opens wet wall areas when access is needed for drying. A technician records the material taken out.
-
Dry and verify
The crew adjusts equipment as the wet area changes. Stubborn damp spots may need different airflow.

- Keep people and pets out of the affected area.
- Stay out of water near electrical equipment.
- Move dry belongings away from the wet area if safe.
- Photograph wet rooms and belongings.

Pipe fittings inside walls can leak before surface staining becomes obvious. The crew checks the wider cavity. Hidden insulation may need removal to dry framing.
