1. Remove the escaped heating water

2. Trace moisture through nearby materials

   Moisture can follow pipe penetrations between rooms. The restoration team maps both sides of those openings.

3. Open only materials that hold water

   A wet wall plate behind finished basement drywall may need access. The technician measures the cavity before cutting.

4. Run equipment and verify drying
