2. Map the hidden wet materials

   Thermal screening helps identify areas for closer testing. The technician confirms suspected wet spots with an appropriate moisture meter.

3. Open layers holding water

   Porous material affected by dirty water may not be suitable to keep. The restoration team documents its condition and handles it accordingly.

4. Dry and verify the structure
