2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Loreauville team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

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