1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

   If flooring traps moisture against underlayment, the technician may lift affected sections. The drying plan at the Kell property follows the actual assembly.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Kell report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
