-
Extract the escaped water
A technician first removes visible liquid from the Chester floor. Recovery tools then work along the edges where condensate collected.

Meter readings outline which Chester building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.
-
Remove material that holds water
Porous material that cannot dry safely is taken out before closing the drying phase. Rebuild follows later.
-

A ceiling below an attic AC unit needs readings across the wet span. Drying is complete when the targeted materials reach an appropriate condition.

- Place belongings away from the damp floor without crossing wet electrical areas.
- Do not reopen the drain or dismantle the unit.
