Remove the pooled water
Standing water is drawn off first so it cannot keep feeding porous materials.

Trace damp materials
Readings at the ceiling and framing show whether an attic leak moved outward.

Expose trapped moisture
The technician opens wet materials only where needed to reach retained water.
-
Verify the dry-out
A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
