-
Extract the escaped water
Pooling beneath an air handler cabinet needs access before drying begins. The crew extracts reachable water and checks neighboring flooring.

Meter readings outline which Papineau building materials are still damp. The crew compares the readings with nearby dry surfaces.
-
Remove material that holds water
Trim can be lifted to reach a wet floor edge. The crew records what was removed for later finish work.

Dry and verify materials
The crew monitors flooring and wall edges instead of relying on a dry appearance. Final measurements establish the condition.
