1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   A swollen board or saturated wall base may not be retained. Material condition directs removal decisions.

   Air movement and dehumidification address retained damp materials. Repeated readings show whether moisture is falling.
