1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The source and duration help interpret moisture patterns. A local technician documents the Hudson property's wet layers.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Hudson home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify
