2. Map wet materials

   A technician compares wet readings with dry reference materials in the same building.

3. Open trapped areas

4. Dry and verify

   Measured structural drying continues after visible puddles disappear.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

Housing dates around Saint Augustine often center on 1950s, while a sprinkler loss depends on materials actually found on site. Plaster and older wall assemblies may respond differently to overhead water than modern drywall.

Water from a frozen overhead section can reach lower floors through ceiling openings. Where homeowners are common, prompt reporting and a clear moisture map help describe the loss.
