3. 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.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The Elizabethtown technician keeps a drying record for the homeowner. Rebuild work follows after affected materials reach their goals.
