Pump or extract liquid water

-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water
The crew documents what comes out and why. Removed material notes help explain the loss when later finish work is quoted.
-
Dry the structure and confirm progress
Dehumidification collects moisture released into the indoor air. The readings create a record of the dry-out for the property owner.
