-
Find moisture beyond the puddle
The moisture map includes unaffected comparison areas. That helps the crew judge drying progress on materials of the same kind.
-
Remove materials that hold unsafe water

Dry the structure and confirm progress
Technicians adjust equipment when one area dries slower than the rest. A dry surface alone does not end monitoring.

What to Do Before the Crew Arrives
Storm water often reaches dirtier surfaces than fresh supply water. Mold may begin growing on damp materials after 24 to 48 hours after saturation. Contaminated porous materials may need removal before drying proceeds.
- Keep away from wet wiring and do not crawl below unstable or flooded sections.
- Keep children and pets outside the wet area.
- Photograph the source and affected materials if safe.
- Move loose belongings away from spreading water.
