1. Assess the water and safe access

2. Remove pooled liquid

   Technicians lift standing water before placing drying equipment. Category 3 materials receive careful handling.

3. Map wet construction

   An upstairs bathroom may wet joists and ceiling board. Readings direct access to those concealed areas.

4. Dry and record the result

   The technician checks moisture daily and adjusts equipment placement. Final measurements document the endpoint.
