   Water removal targets low spots first, including thresholds where flow has collected.

2. Map wet materials

   Thermal imaging can point to suspect areas that technicians confirm with moisture measurements.

3. Open trapped areas

   Saturated ceiling panels may come out so the space above can dry.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.
