1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Harris crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   A wet ceiling cavity can hold insulation above the visible stain. The crew creates access at the Harris home when that layer cannot dry closed.

4. Dry and verify

   Equipment remains in place according to measured conditions, not a fixed calendar. The technician records final results for the Harris owner.

• Avoid wet light switches and fixtures; an electrician handles electrical hazards.
