3. Open what holds water

   The technician explains material removal based on contamination and readings.

4. Dry and verify

   Air movers and dehumidifiers work together while readings are repeated.

• Avoid water near electrical equipment.
• Keep children and pets clear.
• Move small belongings to dry ground if safe.
