2. Map contamination and moisture

   Moisture readings show whether a seemingly dry surface still hides wet backing.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Removal exposes wet framing and subfloor sections that surface cleaning cannot reach.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The drying specialist tracks material readings until the job goals are met.
