1. Remove accessible water

   The crew checks floor edges before setting equipment. Water beneath trim needs attention even after the tile looks clear.

2. Measure concealed moisture

3. Clean and open affected layers

   A wet ceiling cavity can need an opening once the area is safe. The technician checks insulation and drywall condition first.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Humidity control removes water vapor as damp materials release it. The crew verifies the affected layers at the end.
