3. Remove Materials That Hold Water

   Soft or swollen trim can show prolonged saturation. The restoration team evaluates it as part of the drying plan.

4. Dry and Verify the Structure

   Dehumidifiers collect moisture released into the air while airflow supports evaporation. Final measurements show when the structure is ready for rebuilding.
