2. Map the wet materials

3. Open trapped-water areas

   Opening only the necessary wet areas gives equipment a path to the structure. The Cohasset technician documents each material taken out.

4. Dry and verify

   Measured progress determines when dehumidification ends. The final Cohasset report documents the dry-out and any removed material.

• Keep people out from under bulging or dripping ceiling drywall.
