   Moisture readings show whether a seemingly dry surface still hides wet backing.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Porous materials that cannot be restored are removed using protective methods.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   The crew records temperature, humidity and material condition through the dry-out.
