-
Measure hidden moisture

-
Handle affected materials
The mitigation team separates contaminated contents from clean items. Material handling follows the source and category of the drain water.
-
Dry and verify
Air movers and dehumidifiers dry the remaining materials after sanitation. The technician compares readings with the dry reference before equipment leaves.
