As each stage is completed, we stop water from continuing to enter, isolate the area, and make it safe.
As each stage is completed, we sketch the affected area, measure it, and inventory every wet material by name.
As each stage is completed, we record temperature, relative humidity and grains per pound in the drying area.
As each stage is completed, free water comes out first.
For a professional recovery, plastic barriers and controlled airflow keep humid air out of dry rooms. For a professional recovery, preventing secondary damage is a coverage issue, not just good manners.
