   The technician tests ceiling edges, wall bases and lower rooms for water movement.

3. Open trapped areas when needed

   Materials that cannot be dried appropriately are documented before removal.

4. Verify the dry condition

   Room humidity and material moisture are tracked as separate indicators.
