1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Harrells crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

   A leak from an upper floor may reach insulation and a lower ceiling. The assessor checks both levels of the Harrells home.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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

4. Dry and verify

   A drying record lists the equipment, materials and readings. That evidence helps the Harrells property owner plan finish work.

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