2. Measure hidden moisture

   A water damage worker records initial readings before air movers begin. Later measurements show whether the damp footprint is shrinking.

3. Handle affected materials

   When water sits behind a cabinet toe kick, the technician may open the area for cleaning and airflow. Removal decisions follow actual conditions.

4. Dry and verify

   Dehumidification removes moisture from the room air while air movement supports evaporation. Daily checks shape the setup.
