- Photograph visible damage from a dry, safe location.

Local Conditions That Shape the Drying Plan

The technician considers later remodeling in a 1960s or 1970s property. A technician maps the wet materials behind any visible stain.
An overflow can happen in mild or cold weather; Category 3 care is based on contamination.
