   Contaminated liquid is collected with appropriate protective methods. Remaining surfaces are prepared for cleaning.

3. Map wet construction

   A stained ceiling may not show the full wet cavity. The specialist tests around the visible mark.

4. Dry and record the result

   Air movers and dehumidifiers target salvageable wet structure. Follow-up readings show drying progress.
