1. Remove Standing Water

   Water traveling through a wall opening may reach insulation. Moisture mapping helps decide whether access is needed.

   Saturated insulation may block drying in a wall cavity. The crew removes material that cannot dry safely.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Air movers and dehumidifiers address moisture remaining after extraction. Daily readings show whether materials are moving toward the drying goal.
