2. Measure concealed moisture

   Dry reference measurements help interpret affected material readings. The crew documents the comparison during the job.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   The crew removes material that cannot be restored after sewage exposure. Hard surfaces are sanitized before structural drying.

4. Dry and verify progress
