A surface can look dry while its underside remains wet. The crew measures hidden layers because prolonged moisture raises the risk of growth.
-
Extract accessible water
Wet carpet receives targeted extraction where the material can be saved. The technician checks the pad separately because it can retain water.

Open water holding materials
The team keeps a record of opened areas and damaged material. Finished repair work is quoted after drying.

Dry and verify
The crew monitors the floor and wall bases until readings support ending the dry out. Equipment run time depends on the wet materials.
