2. Map contamination and moisture

   Technicians compare suspect materials with dry areas to define the drying scope.

3. Remove and sanitize affected materials

   Cleaning work follows the documented contamination path, not just the most visible stain.

4. Dry the structure and verify

   Before new finishes are planned, technicians verify the affected assembly has dried.
