Porous finishes deteriorate while saturated. Early material assessment helps identify what can remain and what needs removal.

Remove the pooled water
Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.
-
Trace damp materials
Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

Expose trapped moisture
Wet wallboard that cannot dry in place is taken out before equipment runs.
-
Verify the dry-out
