   After the pipe is stopped, the crew clears reachable water. Material condition determines what can remain.

2. Measure hidden dampness

   Cabinet bases and adjoining closets may have absorbed water. Mapping checks those low areas.

3. Address soaked layers

   Only materials that can be dried are left in place. The crew records any removal for the property owner.

   The crew monitors the wet area during drying. Final measurements support the handoff to finishing trades.
