1. Remove accessible water

2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In College Corner, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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