1. Remove accessible water

   A pump or extraction tool removes the liquid that a towel cannot reach. The Fairfield crew starts with the wettest accessible areas.

2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Fairfield technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   The crew checks comparison materials before declaring the wet structure dry. A Fairfield rebuild contractor can then scope finishes.
