1. Remove accessible water

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Mendon home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Mendon owner.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.
• Remove dry contents from neighboring cupboards without pulling fixed panels apart.
