1. Remove the escaped heating water

   Basement water can collect at wall bases. Crews in Elizabeth pull it out and check adjacent rooms for spread.

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   A dry-looking floor can hold moisture beneath its finish. The crew compares readings across affected and unaffected areas.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Elizabeth crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
