2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A damaged toe kick can block airflow around wet cabinet bases. The Sebring crew opens access when material conditions require it.

4. Dry and verify

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
