1. Remove accessible water

2. Measure hidden dampness

   A technician compares materials and nearby dry areas. This helps define the actual scope of the loss.

3. Address soaked layers

   The crew assesses whether each layer can dry safely. Unusable soaked pieces are taken out.

   Equipment placement changes if a damp area resists progress. The technician checks readings instead of appearance alone.
