After the system is controlled, crews extract water from reachable wet areas and protect dry nearby space.
-
Map wet materials
Testing wall bases and subfloors shows where surface mopping failed to reach.

Open trapped areas
Access points are chosen from the measured wet area rather than a broad guess.

Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers run until daily readings reach the drying target.
