-
Map the hidden wet area
The technician checks insulation above a ceiling mark and drywall around it. Measurements show which materials need drying. Different readings across the board can show whether the overflow spread sideways in the attic.
-
Address soaked materials
If a wall cavity remains damp, an opening can allow drying air to reach it. The material condition guides removal. A damp cavity may need airflow after damaged wall board is opened in the affected section.
-
Dry and check progress
Air movement and dehumidification dry the remaining structure. Follow-up readings show whether the plan is working. The crew compares new readings with the initial map so hidden pockets are not overlooked.
