2. Map the hidden wet materials

3. Open layers holding water

   Porous material affected by dirty water may not be suitable to keep. The restoration team documents its condition and handles it accordingly.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   The technician checks wood, drywall and room humidity as the job progresses. Equipment placement changes if a wet area lags.
