   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Athens owner.

• Leave wet plugs, outlets and appliance wiring alone; an electrician handles hazards.

• Keep cleaning chemicals away from standing water if they can be moved safely.
• Photograph swelling, stains and the position of water before cleanup.
