Open only materials that hold water
Porous material affected by heavily contaminated water is handled differently from a clean surface spill. The restoration team assesses category first.

Run equipment and verify drying
Wood subfloor and drywall dry at different rates. The restoration team follows each material toward its own drying goal.
