   The crew works from safe access toward wet rooms, taking bulk water out before drying.

3. Remove and clean affected materials

   Category 3 contact often requires removal of porous carpet, pad and insulation.

   Daily moisture logs help confirm that wall and floor layers are moving toward drying goals.
