   The crew extracts pooled water from the Gaston room before it reaches more flooring.

2. Trace moisture through materials

   Wall corners and baseboards are checked because water can wick upward.

3. Expose saturated hidden layers

   Material removal is documented before the drying equipment is positioned.

4. Dry and verify the structure

   Daily measurements show whether the wet layer is releasing moisture.
