2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

3. Open only materials that hold water

   Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   A basement loss may require humidity control along with directed airflow. The Waldo crew adjusts equipment to measured progress.
