Trace moisture through nearby materials
Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

Open only materials that hold water
Saturated insulation above a ceiling may need removal so framing can dry. The crew records what was opened and why.
-
Run equipment and verify drying
The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
