1. Remove accessible water

   Visible water is recovered first, then the technician checks for concealed spread. The Southfield dry-out is based on material readings.

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In Southfield, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Swollen composite parts sometimes cannot be saved by airflow alone. The technician identifies removal needs in the Southfield kitchen.

4. Dry and verify

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