Map the hidden wet area
The technician checks insulation above a ceiling mark and drywall around it. Measurements show which materials need drying. Different readings across the board can show whether the overflow spread sideways in the attic.

Address soaked materials
The crew separates materials that can dry from those too damaged to remain. Rebuild follows the dry-out stage. The technician notes which materials were removed and which remain for the dry-out.
-
Dry and check progress
A floor may feel dry while the layer below remains damp. Repeat measurements help prevent an early finish to the dry-out. Floor layers are checked again before finish work begins over the affected area.
