How Structural Drying for Flood Cleanup Works in Dayhoit

1. Remove standing water

2. Map moisture

3. Remove soaked material

   Contaminated porous materials are separated from salvageable finishes. The loss source informs contamination handling.

4. Dry and verify

   Drying continues until measured targets are reached. The crew checks the target material itself.
