Extract escaped condensate

-
Map the hidden wet area
Wetness can remain after dripping stops. The technician measures concealed surfaces before selecting drying equipment. A stopped leak can leave moisture inside porous material, so the crew tests beyond the puddle.

Address soaked materials
The crew separates materials that can dry from those too damaged to remain. Rebuild follows the dry-out stage. The technician notes which materials were removed and which remain for the dry-out.

Dry and check progress
