   Standing water at a wall edge is removed first. The team then follows its path beneath nearby flooring.

   Initial readings establish the starting condition. Later measurements show whether the drying plan is working.

3. Open water holding materials

   The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

   Moisture levels are compared with suitable unaffected areas. The team then removes equipment when the assembly is documented dry.
