Measure hidden moisture

-
Handle affected materials
The mitigation team separates contaminated contents from clean items. Material handling follows the source and category of the drain water.

Dry and verify
The crew adjusts drying equipment as moisture readings change. A final record shows the condition of affected walls and floors.
