   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

3. Open only materials that hold water

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A damp ceiling may look normal before its framing dries. Final meter checks help prevent closing a wet cavity.
