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

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Lecanto report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
