Humidity from a damp room can slow evaporation. Dehumidification and airflow are adjusted using measurements, especially where hidden materials stay wet.

   Visible liquid is lifted from reachable surfaces. The drying specialist then handles moisture absorbed into building materials.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   Porous layers soaked with Category 3 water may require disposal. The crew controls the affected area during cleanup.

4. Dry and verify progress

   Daily moisture records track the subfloor and wall base. A repair contractor waits for the dry-out before closing finishes.
