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

   A moisture meter shows whether the subfloor remains wet beneath finished flooring. The Watervliet technician compares affected and dry areas.

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Contaminated porous material may need removal after a used-water release. The Watervliet team cleans and sanitizes affected surfaces as appropriate.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Watervliet report documents the dry-out and any removed material.
