2. Map the wet materials

   The first puddle does not define the damage boundary. In New Haven, readings reveal where water followed seams and cavities.

3. Open trapped-water areas

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