How Radiator Leak Water Damage Works in Agency

3. Open only materials that hold water

   The Agency crew documents each material removed during the dry-out. Finish work is scoped after moisture goals are reached.

4. Run equipment and verify drying

   The crew checks room air and material readings through the dry-out. Equipment stays until verified conditions support removal.
