   Water gathered beneath an attic leak is removed before structural drying begins.

2. Trace damp materials

   Meters reveal moisture beyond the stain and help define the drying area.

3. Expose trapped moisture

   Saturated insulation may be removed when it blocks drying of the cavity.

4. Verify the dry-out

   A technician checks previously hidden areas before ending the equipment run.
