2. Trace damp materials

   The team documents wet materials in adjoining rooms, not just the first room.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
