   Visible liquid is lifted from reachable surfaces. The drying specialist then handles moisture absorbed into building materials.

2. Measure concealed moisture

   The assessor follows water through grout joints and pipe openings. Lower cavities are checked when an upstairs fixture overflows.

3. Clean and open affected layers

   A wet ceiling cavity can need an opening once the area is safe. The technician checks insulation and drywall condition first.
