2. Map the wet materials

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

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Ashtabula technician documents each material taken out.

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