2. Map moisture around the fixture

   An upstairs loss prompts the restoration worker to examine the ceiling below.

3. Expose wet cabinet materials

   The technician documents any cabinet or wall material removed for drying.

4. Dry and confirm the result

   Air movement and dehumidification continue while daily readings trend toward a dry target.
