Remove the escaped heating water

Trace moisture through nearby materials
Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.
-
Open only materials that hold water
The Elbow Lake crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.
